What happens in the rumen must stand in simultaneous reciprocal relation to what is taking place in intestinal digestion, and vice versa. Beyond this, the greater omentum is perceptively immersed in the fluid balance of the abdominal cavity and steers this through secretion and resorption. It also provides defence against substances foreign to the body. On account of this, and of its great mobility, the greater omentum has also been called "the great dishcloth of the abdominal cavity."
