Breast feeding during initial period
(1) Good for healthy baby
(2) Recommended by doctors
(3) Essential to develop resistance for the new-born babies.
(4) All of these
The milk produced during the initial few days of lactation, called colostrum, is essential for the new born as colostrums contains:
1. Large amount of glucose
2. Anti-infective antibodies
3. Fats
4. Various hormones
Milk is produced by which cells?
(1) Alveoli
(2) Lobes
(3) Tubules
(4) Nipple
The glandular tissue of each breast is divided into
(1) 10-12 mammary lobes
(2) 15-20 mammary lobes
(3) 23-25 mammary lobes
(4) 25-30 mammary lobes
The correct sequence of mammalian mammary gland ducts beginning from alveoli would he:
1. | Mammary tubules → Mammary ducts → Mammary ampulla → Lactiferous ducts |
2. | Lactiferous duds → Mammary ducts → Mammary ampulla → Mammary tubules |
3. | Lactiferous ducts → Mammary arnpula → Mammary ducts → Mammary tubules |
4. | Mammary tubules → Mammary ampulla → Mammary ducts → Lactiferous ducts |
Colostrum has
(1) Only one antibody
(2) Several antibodies
(3) Two antibodies
(4) Four antibodies
Lactation starts at
(1) At the end of pregnancy
(2) At the end of first trimester
(3) During pregnancy
(4) Before parturition
Colostrum is
(1) Milk of first day
(2) Milk of initial few hours
(3) Milk of initial few days
(4) Milk of lactation period
Mammary glands are not
(1) Paired structure
(2) Having glandular tissue
(3) Having defined amount of fat
(4) Characteristic of all female mammals
In a functional mammary gland, the cells of _________ secrete milk, which is stored in the cavities of alveoli. Choose the option that fills the blank correctly.
1. Alveoli
2. Lactiferous duct
3. Mammary ducts
4. Areola
