C. Of the Lacteal Glands. 



§ 209. The Lacteal Glands (glandules lad if era) are two com- 

 pound racemose glands, which, in the male, are only rudimentary, 

 hut in the female are fully developed, and secrete the milk after 

 parturition. 



With regard to their structure, the lacteal glands completely agree 

 in all essential points with the larger racemose glands, the parotid 

 and pancreas, for instance. Each gland consists of fifteen to twenty- 

 four and more lobes, whose shape is irregular, flat or cylindrical, 

 roundish or angular, and J"' to i m in size; although quite sepa- 

 rate from each other in their cavities, these lobes cannot always be 

 sharply defined externally. Each of them is composed of a certain 

 number of smaller lobules, and those of others still smaller, the 

 smallest lobules being made up of the gland-vesicles. The latter
