Select the correct path of flow of milk during breast feeding.
- A Mammary tubules → Mammary duct → Mammary ampulla → Lactiferous duct → Alveoli
- B Mammary tubules → Mammary duct → Lactiferous duct → Mammary ampulla → Alveoli
- C Alveoli → Mammary tubules → Mammary ampulla → Mammary duct → Lactiferous duct
- D Alveoli → Mammary tubules → Mammary duct → Mammary ampulla → Lactiferous duct
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Alveoli → Mammary tubules → Mammary duct → Mammary ampulla → Lactiferous duct
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(D) Alveoli → Mammary tubules → Mammary duct → Mammary ampulla → Lactiferous duct,
A functional mammary gland is characteristic of all female mammals. The mammary glands are paired structures (breasts) that contain glandular tissue and variable amount of fat. The glandular tissue of each breast is divided into 15-20 mammary lobes containing clusters of cells called alveoli. The cells of alveoli secrete milk, which is stored in the cavities (lumens) of alveoli. The alveoli open into mammary tubules. The tubules of each lobe join to form a mammary duct. Several mammary ducts join to form a wider mammary ampulla which is connected to lactiferous duct through which milk is sucked out.
