This image depicts the alveolus of a lactating mammary gland. The lactocyte, the primary epithelial cell, synthesizes lipid droplets and casein granules, essential for breast milk. The alveolar lumen is filled with these secretory products, illustrating lactation function. Eccrine secretion contributes to milk composition. This representation is valuable for medical training and patient education on lactation physiology. © Hrejsa Medical Media.
