secretory

41
Q

A

alveoli

42
Q

An alveoli is around how big?

A

0.1-0.3mm

43
Q

What type of cells in alveoli produce milk?

A

mammary epithelial cells

44
Q

What are the cells surrounding alveoli that contract to push milk into ducts?

A

myoepithelial cells

45
Q

What is the function of the cistern [seen in dairy cows]?

A

extra storage of milk before expulsion. not in most species

46
Q

what are these 2 mammary gland cells types?
