Detailed Solution

Mammary glands contain significant adipocyte tissues. 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.
