Best Answer

A rumen fistula is a surgically created entry to the rumen in the left flank of the ruminant, typically permanent and with a rubber or similar material device (a 'cannula') fitted to close it between times of use. It enables the rumen contents to be accessed, and the rumen wall to be viewed and biopsied. Surgically modified ruminants such as these are only found on research farms, where they are used to study rumen function.

Looking in through the fistula, you can see the rumen contents and the rumen wall.

How is rumen's feeling of conflict shown in the poem emigree?

In the poem "Emigree," the rumen's feeling of conflict is shown through its juxtaposition of nostalgia for the past with a sense of displacement in the present. The rumen recalls fond memories of its homeland but also expresses a sense of unease and disconnection in its new environment. This internal conflict is depicted through the rumen's conflicting feelings of attachment and alienation.

Why shouldn't you take a blood pressure on an arm with a shunt?

An artificial shunt for hemodialysis, either a fistula (direct artery to vein connection) or a graft (artery to vein connection through Goretex tubing), can be on the arm, or preferably on the forearm for a fistula. A fistula, and even less so a Goretex, will not burst because of applying pressure through a sphygmomanometer (which was the original answer posted here). There is a slight risk of causing a thrombosis of the venous side of the fistula, particularly if there is already a venous stenosis.
