- sweat gland in the carpal glands
44
Mammary Gland
- compound tubulo-alveolar gland
45
Mammary Gland Myoepithelial cells
- contract in response to oxytocin which causes the letdown of milk into the duct system
46
*Duct System Order of the Mammary Glands*
1. Intralobular - simple cuboidal 2. Interlobular duct - stratified cuboidal 3. Lactiferous sinus - stratified cuboidal 4. Teat sinus and papillary duct - stratified squamous
