Alveoli of Mammary Gland
Visualization of the alveoli of the mammary glands. After reproduction
has occurred, the essential role of the mammary glands is to provide
nourishing milk to a newborn. Internally, the mammary gland consists of
up to 25 lobes which radiate around and open to the nipple. The lobes
are separated from each other by fat and connective tissue. Within the
lobes are smaller lobules which are made up of alveoli that produce
milk during lactation. The alveolar glands pass the milk through
lactiferous ducts which open to the nipple.
