*The rumino-reticular fold often gets object lodged. When the [[The Rumen - Anatomy & Physiology|rumen]] contracts, the object can be pushed through the reticulum wall into the [[Structure of the Heart - Anatomy & Physiology#Pericardium|pericardium]] and [[Heart - Anatomy & Physiology|heart]].

*Opening at the cardia into both the reticulum and the [[The Rumen - Anatomy & Physiology|rumen]] is called the reticuluar groove (see [[Oesophageal Groove|oseophageal groove]]). The reticular groove also opens into the [[The Omasum - Anatomy & Physiology|omasum]].
