−*Keratinised stratified squamous epithelium
−
−*No glands
−
−*Honeycomb appearance of short and tall folds
−
−*Mucosal layer thrown into folds
−
−*The folds gradually merge into papillae where the reticulum meets the rumen
−
−*Lamina muscularis present as discrete bands of smooth muscle (not continuous)
−
−*[[Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology#Types of Papillae|Conical papillae]], also called secondary papillae, on folds providing a rough surface to increase food breakdown
−
−*2 thick layers of tunica muscularis- inner circular and outer longitudinal
−
−*The upper keratinised layer protects against abrasion
−
−*The deeper layers metabolise [[Volatile Fatty Acids - Anatomy & Physioogy|volatile fatty acids]]
