What is a Mammary Lobule?

  1. 10-100 alveoli combined together

  2. A type of hormone

  3. Structure found in the brain

  4. External covering of the breast

The correct answer is: 10-100 alveoli combined together

A Mammary Lobule is defined as a structure in the breast that consists of 10-100 alveoli combined together. Alveoli are small cavities where milk is produced in the breast during lactation. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Option B, a type of hormone, is not correct as mammary lobule is a structural component of the breast and not a hormone. Option C, a structure found in the brain, is unrelated to mammary lobule, which is specific to the breast anatomy. Option D, the external covering of the breast, does not accurately describe a mammary lobule, which is an internal structure involved in milk production.
