Breast in pregnancy, light micrograph
Breast in pregnancy. Light micrograph of a transverse section of the human mammary gland during pregnancy. The breast is normally made up of fibro-fatty connective tissue, which surrounds the small lactiferous (milk-forming) glands and ducts leading to the nipple. This sample shows that during pregnancy the breast mainly consists of lactiferous glands and ducts and acini (masses of secretory cells) which have proliferated, and the original adipose (fat) tissue is greatly reduced. Magnification: x14 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a transverse section of the human mammary gland during pregnancy, providing a fascinating glimpse into the intricate biology of reproduction. The breast, typically composed of fibro-fatty connective tissue surrounding small lactiferous glands and ducts leading to the nipple, undergoes remarkable changes during this period. In this particular sample, we observe that the breast primarily consists of proliferated lactiferous glands and ducts, as well as acini - masses of secretory cells. The original adipose (fat) tissue is significantly reduced in comparison. With a magnification of x14 when printed at 10 centimeters across, every detail becomes apparent under the light microscope's lens. This image not only highlights the physiological transformations occurring within a pregnant woman's body but also emphasizes the importance and complexity of female reproductive anatomy. It serves as a valuable resource for gynecologists and researchers studying glandular structures within the female reproductive system. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment in biological history through their exceptional expertise in scientific photography. This photograph stands as a testament to their dedication to showcasing visually stunning images that educate and inspire curiosity about our own bodies' miraculous capabilities.
