TEGUMENTAL ORGANS 



The development of mammary glands and teats is always 

 initiated by a shallow degression of the integument (f.g., Fig. 9, A), 

 the mammary pit ; the base of this pit is the glandular area, 

 and the surrounding border () the rampart of the gland. The 

 Malpighian stratum of the epidermis at the base of the glandular 

 area, by inward proliferation, gives rise to the glandular tissue. 



The mode of development of the teats is not the same for all

Mammals. Either (Fig. 9, B) the rampart which borders the 

 depression rises and forms a tube (the lumen of which is known 

 as the mammary canal), into the base of which the true ducts 

 open, or (Fig. 9, C) the glandular area rises in the shape of a 

 papilla, while the rampart degenerates. The latter, in which the 

 nipple must be considered as a secondary formation, is exemplified 

 in the Marsupials, the Lemuroidea, Apes, and Man ; in the former, 

 which obtains in the Caruivora, Pigs, Horses, and Ruminants, it 

 is a primary formation. The first indications of the primary
