### Ruminant Stomach Anatomy Quiz

**Question:** Place these organs in the correct order as they are located in the ruminant.

1. [Dropdown] Rumen
2. [Dropdown] Omasum
3. [Dropdown] Reticulum
4. [Dropdown] Abomasum

**Objective:** Test your understanding of the sequential arrangement of the four compartments in the ruminant stomach. Ruminants, such as cows and sheep, have a specialized stomach consisting of four compartments that aid in the digestion of fibrous plant material. 

**Explanation:**

1. **Rumen:** The first and largest compartment, where fermentation occurs.
2. **Reticulum:** The second compartment, often called the "honeycomb," involved in trapping smaller digested particles.
3. **Omasum:** The third compartment, sometimes referred to as the "book," where water and nutrients are absorbed.
4. **Abomasum:** The final compartment, similar to a monogastric stomach, where acid digestion occurs.

To correctly answer the question, select the correct order of these organs:

- First: Rumen
- Second: Reticulum
- Third: Omasum
- Fourth: Abomasum
