Arrange the components of mammary gland (from proximal to distal). 

(A) Mammary duct 
(B) Lactiferous duct 
(C) Alveoli
(D) Mammary ampulla 
(E) Mammary tubules 

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

(C) → (E) → (A) → (D) → (B)

(C) Alveoli are small, grape-like structures within the mammary gland where milk is produced. They are the functional units of the mammary gland responsible for milk synthesis.

(E) Mammary tubules are the ductules that transport milk from the alveoli to the larger ducts. They serve as the conduits for milk fl ow within the mammary gland.

(A) Mammary ducts are larger ducts that carry milk from the mammary tubules to the lactiferous ducts.

(D) The mammary ampulla is a widened, enlarged region of the mammary ducts, serving as a storage area for milk before it is released during breastfeeding.

(B) The lactiferous duct is the fi nal segment of the mammary gland system that carries the milk from the mammary ampulla to the nipple, where milk is released during nursing.
