When eviscerating a chicken, there is ribbed tissue just under (while the chicken is on its back) the intestine at the vent. It does not seem to be a part of the digestive system as it is alway clean. It is on both male and female chickens.

Does this part of the anatomy have a name? (I call it "the flower.") Does it have a function?

Thanks, anatomists!
