Mammary Glands
Mammary glands as shown are for women in last trimester of pregnancy or who are nursing.

The areola, a ring of pigmented skin, covers large sebaceous glands that give it a bumpy appearance. Sebum reduces chapping and cracking of the nipple.

Structure of the Testis
Surrounded by the tunica albuginea – a tough, white, fibrous capsule that encloses each testicle
Septa divide each testicle into about 250 lobules
Rete Testis
Each lobule contains 1-4 highly coiled seminiferous tubules that give rise to sperm
Interstitial cells lie in between seminiferous tubules and secrete male sex hormones
What to do for this lab
Be sure to look at:
- Isolated models for male reproductive system
- Isolated models for female reproductive system- Include the mammary gland modelInclude the mammary gland model
