Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Lactiferous duct
The basic components of a mature mammary gland are the alveoli, which are lined with milk-secreting cuboidal cells and surrounded by myoepithelial cells. These alveoli join to form groups known as lobules. Each lobule has a lactiferous duct that drains into openings in the nipple from which milk is sucked out through. The myoepithelial cells contract under the stimulation of oxytocin, excreting the milk secreted by alveolar units into the lobule lumen toward the nipple.
