Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Milk is produced in the secretory alveoli of mammary glands, which are organized into lobules. From there, milk travels through the ducts within the lobules, into larger lactiferous ducts, then into a lactiferous sinus near the base of the nipple. Finally, milk is released through the surface of the nipple, allowing it to exit the body. Therefore, option B correctly traces the route of milk from its site of production to the body surface.
