The mammary gland is classified as a branched tubuloalveolar structure with hormone-responsive lobules surrounded by a loose connective tissue stroma. The glands making up the breast are embedded in adipose tissue separated by bands of connective tissue.
Milk is a unique and complete nutritive source for the mammal neonate, also providing immune protection and developmental signals. Lactation is a complex process, proper to the mother and child dyad, and including numerous variables ranging from psychological aspects to the secretory functioning of the...
Breastfeed duration was dependent on the infant and lasted between 2.2 and 30 minutes (mean 9 mins ± 5). The changes in nipple temperature on the suckled breast before and after breastfeeding were not related to the volume of milk removed by the infant (p = 0.70). The du...
The principal physiologic effect of PRL in human females is the initiation of lactation. The cellular events leading to actual secretion of breast milk are reasonably well defined in the experimental animal. Other than the direct effects on breast tissue in pregnancy, prolactin's role at puberty,...
Fig 1 – Internal structure of the breast During Pregnancy During pregnancy, there is significant hypertrophy of theductular-lobular-alveolar system,prominent lobules form and from mid-gestation alveolar cells differentiate to be capable of milk production. ...
- Maintenance of lactation: production will continue when milk is removed on a regular basis - Autocrine control: controlled by the breast itself with help from feedback inhibitor of lactation- Well drained breast signals body to increase production - Poorly drained breast signals body to decrease ...
This introduction to the physiology of the endocrine system in man is most welcome since it is written by a clinician with human applications in mind. The ... J Meakin - 《Jama Internal Medicine》 被引量: 0发表: 1970年 Maternal exposure to tributyltin alters the breast milk, hormonal profil...
This chapter is a review of the development, structure and function of the normal human breast. It is meant to serve as a backdrop and reference for the chapters that follow on pathologies and treatment. It presents an overview of normal gross anatomy, h
In adult life the human breast, unlike that of other species, is sufficiently developed to allow milk secretion to occur after only a brief period of hormonal stimulation. During pregnancy the ducts and secretory alveoli develop under the influence of both oestrogen and progesterone. Growth hormone...
