- Sweat glands.
- Sebaceous glands.
- Sudoriferous glands.
- Lacrimal glands.
- Identify the incorrectly matched pair.
- P - Areola.
- Q - Lactiferous duct.
- S - Mammary duct.
- T - Mammary alveoli.
- Mammary ducts expand to form:
- Mammary alveoli.
- Mammary ampullae.
- Lactiferous ducts.
- Mammary tubules.
- What is areola?
- Grape-like clusters of milk secreting structures.
- Fatty tissue between the mammary lobes.
- Circular pigmented area of skin around nipple.
- Connective tissue that supports the alveoli and ducts.
- Assertion: The size of breast depends on the amount of adipose tissue.

- Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- Assertion is true, but reason is false.
- Both assertion and reason are false.
Answer
T is mammary ampulla and R is mammary alveoli.
Near the nipple, mammary ducts expand to form mammary ampullae, where some milk may be stored before going to lactiferous ducts.
The fibrous (connective) tissue supports the alveoli and the ducts.
