What is Anatomy and Function of Mammary Glands about?

The mammary gland is a cutaneous gland that originates from ectoderm. It has wide variation across species in appearance and location. The mammary gland contains alveoli that secrete milk, grouped into lobules and lobes. Milk production involves hormonal stimulation of alveolar growth during pregnancy and milk ejection in response to oxytocin stimulation of myoepithelial cells during suckling or milking. Factors like stress can inhibit oxytocin release and milk let-down.
