Illustration of a milk gland in the breast
Illustration of a milk gland in the breast. The female breast in humans consists of 15-20 lobes of milk-secreting glands; each lobe is made up of smaller lobules, one of which is shown here. This lobule is surrounded by connective tissue which holds it in place in the breast. Ducts (lower centre) of these glands have their outlet at the nipple. Internally the lobule is lined with milk- producing cells; their secretion of milk (white) is rich in protein, lipids, vitamins and sugars. Hormones during pregnancy stimulate these lobules to become active in preparation for breast-feeding (lactation). After birth, these glands first produce colostrum, then milk

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate illustration of a milk gland in the female breast. Within the human breast, there are approximately 15-20 lobes consisting of milk-secreting glands. Each lobe is composed of smaller lobules, and this particular image highlights one such lobule. Surrounding the lobule is connective tissue that firmly anchors it within the breast. At the lower center, you can observe ducts originating from these glands which ultimately lead to the nipple. The internal structure of the lobule reveals a lining made up of milk-producing cells responsible for secreting milk rich in protein, lipids, vitamins, and sugars - depicted here as a milky white substance. During pregnancy, hormones stimulate these lobules to become active in preparation for breastfeeding or lactation. After childbirth, these remarkable glands initially produce colostrum before transitioning into regular milk production. This awe-inspiring artwork not only provides insight into reproductive anatomy but also emphasizes the significance of mammary glands and their role in sustaining life through nourishment. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this visual representation without any commercial intentions; instead focusing on educating viewers about this fascinating aspect of our human body's reproductive system.
