Mammary glands consist of numerous lobules. Each lobule

is a cluster of secretory alveoli in which milk is produced.
The alveoli can open into a common duct that, in turn,
can

or nipple. The nipple is usually surrounded by a cir papilla,

In monotremes, nipples and teats are absent, and

(figure 6.23a). The front of the infants snout is shaped to

equivalent to about 10% of its body weight. In marsupials and eutherian mammals, either teats or nipples are
present (figure 6.23b,c). At sexual maturity, adipose tissue
builds up under the mammary gland to produce the breast.
Enlargement of the mammary glands occurs under hormonal stimulation shortly before the birth of suckling
young. Suckling stimulates a neural response to the nervous
system that results in release of oxytocin, the hormone that
stimulates contraction of myoepithelial cells enveloping
