Question: 1 / 400

What are Lactiferous Ducts?

Connects mammary lobules/intra-lobular ducts to the nipple

Lacitiferous ducts are a vital component of the female breast anatomy, specifically in the production and secretion of breast milk. These ducts connect the mammary lobules, which are clusters of milk-producing cells, to the nipple for lactation. Option B is incorrect because the ducts do not connect to the lungs; breathing is facilitated by the respiratory system. Option C is incorrect because the stomach is not involved in breast milk production. Option D is incorrect because the heart is not involved in lactation, but rather in blood circulation.
