The mammary gland (Duct and secretory system) Flashcards
Duct and secretory system
Teat :
- Streak canal
- Sphinctormuscle
- Teat cistern
Gland cistern
Duct system
Streak canal (teat canal) positron
at base of teat which milk comes from
Streak canal (teat canal) length
5 - 13 mm
Streak canal (teat canal) diameter
0.4 - 1.6 mm diameter
Streak canal lined by ……..
Cells form folds to close the canal bet. Milkings
Streak canal Produce …
Lipid like sub. Is bacteriostatic so prevent bacterial penetration and mastitis
The canal is kept closed by …
an involuntary circular sphincter muscle found in distal part of the canal
Diameter of streak canal increase by …
aging
….. canals less resistant to mastitis
Wide
Teat sphinctor muscle
At the distal part of the streak canal ( last 2 mm) Involuntary circular muscle
acts as a barrier (physical to the entry of bacteria
Teat sphinctor muscle
Tightness of sphincter muscle is …. trait depend on …
inherited
sire selection
Slow milkers has …. muscles , so …
Strong muscle so less milk and less susceptible to mastitis
Fast milkers has …. muscles , so …
Weak or patent or poor muscle easy milked and give more milk but susceptible to mastitis and leakage
Teat sphinctor muscle function
Constrict the opening (teat orifice) so keep the milk in the udder between milking
Frustenburgs Rosette …… mucosal folds
