1079. THE SECOND STOMACH AND ITS APPENDAGES 

 ARE PERFECTLY ADAPTED to the farther preparation of 

 the food, and the taking from it of everything valuable. 



1 080. THE SECOND STOMACH is a narrowed or tubular 

 extension of the Stomach, averaging twenty-five feet in 

 length, (sometimes as short as five, and as long as thirty- 

 four,) and an inch to an inch and a half in diameter. 



1081. THE SECOND STOMACH is CONSTRUCTED, like 

 the Stomach, of three coats, except that the serous is 

 wanting at points (see D, Fig. 233). The mucous coat 

 being modified into folds (valvulse conniventes), as seen 

 in plate 29, its internal surface is immensely increased. 



1082. THE SECOND STOMACH is DIVIDED nominally
