The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the structures involved in milk secretion and transport in mammary glands, we can break it down step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mammary Glands**: - Mammary glands are specialized organs in females that produce milk. They consist of several lobes, typically 15 to 20 on each side. 2. **Structure of Mammary Lobes**: - Each mammary lobe is made up of smaller units called alveoli. These alveoli are responsible for the secretion of milk. 3. **Formation of Mammary Tubules**: - The milk produced in the alveoli is collected into small tubes known as mammary tubules. 4. **Joining of Mammary Ducts**: - Several mammary tubules converge to form larger structures called mammary ducts. 5. **Identification of Structure A**: - The question states that several mammary ducts join to form a wider structure. This wider structure is known as the **mammary ampulla**. - Therefore, A = Mammary Ampulla. 6. **Connection to Structure B**: - The mammary ampulla is connected to another structure through which milk is expelled. This structure is called the **lactiferous duct**. - Hence, B = Lactiferous Duct. 7. **Function of the Lactiferous Duct**: - The lactiferous duct opens at the nipple, providing the passage through which milk is sucked out during breastfeeding. ### Final Answer: - A = Mammary Ampulla - B = Lactiferous Duct
