Study Notes

Mammary Glands

The pectoralis major muscle lies beneath the mammary glands.
The milk-secreting cells in the mammary glands are called alveolar cells or lactiferous cells.
The essential functions of the mammary glands are milk synthesis, secretion, and ejection.

Location and Structure

The mammary glands are located over the pectoralis major muscle.

Lactation

The term for the synthesis and secretion of milk by the mammary glands is lactation.

Breast Structure

The clusters of milk-secreting cells within the breasts are called alveoli.

Female Reproductive Cycle

The term for the stages of ovum maturation in the female reproductive cycle is folliculogenesis.
The growth of a tertiary follicle during folliculogenesis is stimulated by gonadotropins (hormones released by the pituitary gland).
Once mature, the follicle ruptures, releasing an ovum (egg) during folliculogenesis.
The cells remaining in the follicle develop into the corpus luteum during folliculogenesis.
