Question

in women what are the function of mammary gland

Answer 1

hey dear,

Although female breasts are considered sexual, the mammary glands are not part of the reproductive system of a female. The function of the mammary glands is to produce the mother’s milk in order to nourish the baby both males and females have glandular tissue within the breasts; however, in females, the glandular tissue begins to develop after puberty in response to estrogen release. Mammary glands only produce milk after childbirth. During pregnancy, the hormones progesterone and prolactin are released. progesterone interferes with prolactin, preventing the mammary glands from lactating. During this time, small amounts of a pre-milk substance called colostrum are produced. This liquid is rich in antibodies and nutrients to sustain an infant during the first few days of life. After childbirth, progesterone levels decrease and the levels of prolactin remain raised. This signals the mammary glands to begin lactating. Each time a baby is breastfed the milk is emptied from the breast. Immediately afterward, the mammary glands are signaled to continue producing milk. As a woman approaches menopause, the time when menstruation stops, the tissues of the ductile system become fibrous and degenerate. This causes involution, or shrinkage, of the mammary gland, and thereafter the gland loses the ability to produce milk.
