Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Lactating breast tissue, light micrograph
Lactating breast tissue. Light micrograph of a section through healthy breast (mammary gland) tissue during lactation. Glandular tissue in the breast has proliferated to produce spaces (alveoli, white) through which milk flows. The glands are arrange in lobules which make up 15 to 20 lobes. The milk drains from the lobes via the milk-bearing lactiferous ducts to the surface of the nipple

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of lactating breast tissue. Taken under a light microscope, it provides a detailed glimpse into the inner workings of a healthy mammary gland during lactation. The image reveals the remarkable proliferation of glandular tissue, forming numerous alveoli (white spaces) through which milk flows. Arranged in lobules, these glands form an essential part of the female reproductive system, comprising 15 to 20 lobes. As pregnancy progresses and lactation begins, these lobes become active and produce milk that nourishes newborns. The milk is then drained from the lobes via specialized ducts known as lactiferous ducts before reaching the surface of the nipple. The photograph not only highlights the anatomical structure but also emphasizes its functionality in supporting reproduction and nurturing life. It underscores how this natural process is vital for sustaining infants during their early stages. With its focus on biology and histology, this light micrograph offers valuable insights into human anatomy while celebrating one aspect of womanhood – breastfeeding. It serves as a reminder of both the complexity and elegance found within our bodies' systems and encourages appreciation for nature's design.
