A schematic histology cross-section of a mammary gland alveolus shows a central lumen lined by simple cuboidal secretory epithelium (lactocytes) surrounded by contractile myoepithelial cells (MECs) and connective tissue stroma. In the biological hierarchy, this acinar unit resides within a lobule of the breast in the female reproductive system. In anatomy and physiology, the epithelial cells synthesize milk components, while MEC contraction expels milk into ducts under oxytocin signaling. The structure represents glandular tissue within the mammary organ.
