Fig 27, NR-6-a, Mammary gland, Inactive, H&E, human
This figure is a section through an inactive mammary gland. The
parenchyma is sparse and consists mainly of duct elements. The
ducts are surrounded by a loose connective tissue (LCT), and
together, the ducts and surrounding connective tissue constitute a
lobule (L). Beyond the lobule, the connective tissue is the dense
connective tissue (DCT). Characteristically, the dense connective
tissue contains numerous aggregates of adipocytes (A).
