FIGURE 4.16 | Compound Acinar (Exocrine)
Gland: Mammary Glands
The mammary gland is an example of a compound acinar (alveolar) gland (A
and B). The lactating mammary gland contains enlarged secretory acini
(alveoli) with large lumina that are filled with milk. Draining these acini
(alveoli) are excretory ducts, some of which contain secretory material and are
lined by stratified epithelium.
