Q

Frustenburgs Rosette Located in

A

internal part of streak canal , proximal part

18
Q

Frustenburgs Rosette radiate in … directions

A

All directions to teat cistern

19
Q

Frustenburgs Rosette Function

A
  1. Barrier against pathogens
  2. Major point for entry of leukocytes into gland
  3. Contain bacteriocidal protein
20
Q

Teat cistern located ….

A

just above the streak canal

21
Q

The cavity of teat

A

Teat cistern

22
Q

Teat cistern hold …… of milk

A

10 - 50 ml

23
Q

Into which milk drains from the gland, and from which milk is removed during the milking process

A

Teat cistern

24
Q

Teat cistern contain in upper part …..

A

Accessory mammary tissue irritation overmilking of (AMT) cause infection to spread to all udder so rapid removal of teat cups

25
Q

Teat cistern wall

A

Rich in blood vessels so when using MM the high vacuum blood congestion irritation of the lining so pulsation cycle is required

26
Q

Cricoid ring

A

Annular folds

Bet gland and cistern
Marks the boundary bet gland and teat cistern

27
Q

Gland cistern Located …

A

Just above the teat cistern and partially separated from it by a circular fold

28
Q

A cavity act as a reservoir of milk

A

Gland cistern

29
Q

Gland cistern hold

A

400 - 500 ml milk

30
Q

A number of large ducts branch off from the gland cistern

A

Duct system

31
Q

Function of duct system

A
  1. To collect the milk from the secretory tissue
  2. Store part of the milk between milkings
  3. Transport it to the gland cistern
32
Q

Duct system branch and re branch into smaller and
smaller ducts and finally into the ….

A

Terminal ductules that drain each alveolus

33
Q

Milk route

A

Gland cistern → 12 - 50 large collecting duct → commom duct → terminal ductule → lobule

34
Q

Alveoli

A

Microscopic structure lined with a single layer of epithelial cells

Single layer of epiyhelial cell + blood capillary (network) + mypepithelial cell + fibroblast

35
Q

Alveoli function

A

Take nutrients from blood to the alveolar lumen.

36
Q

Functional unit of milk production

37
Q

Drain into terminal ductules

38
Q

Alveoli capacity

39
Q

Lobule

A

10 - 250 Alveoli

40
Q

Lobe

A

group of lobules

41
Q

Milk letdown

A

Stimuli → Afferent sensory nerve → CNS → Oxytocin → myoepithelial cell contract → lumen of alveoli → terminal ductule → common duct → large collecting duct gland cistern → teat cistern → streak canal
