==Function==

A function of the omasum is absorption. Food enters omasum at second biphasic reticular contraction. The omasum itself has biphasic contractions. The first contraction expels fluid by squeezing the ingesta from the omasal canal between the lamellae. The second contraction expels solids by mass contraction of the omasum. Contractions are slower than the rumenoreticular contractions (see [[Rumination - Anatomy & Physiology|rumination]]). Food is squeezed between lamellae.

The blood supply to the omasum includes the '''cranial mesenteric artery''', the '''caudal mesenteric artery''' and the '''left gastric''' and '''left gastroepiploic arteries'''.
