FIGURE 21.38 | Mammary Gland: Micrograph of
Inactive Mammary Gland
An inactive, or immature, mammary gland consists of undeveloped glandular
ducts and dense irregular connective tissue. The interlobular connective tissue
(4) is located between the glandular lobules (3) and the intralobular connective
tissue (7) between the intralobular ducts (1). A larger interlobular duct (6) is
located outside the lobules (3). Surrounding the intralobular (1) and interlobular
(6) ducts are the contractile myoepithelial cells (2, 5).
