An intralobular duct is the portion of an exocrine gland inside a lobule, leading directly from acinus to an interlobular duct (between lobules). It is composed of two subdivisions, the intercalated duct and the striated duct. In the human mammary gland, the intralobular duct is a part of the glandular system that resides within the lobules.
Typically, there are two trunks - one on each side of the body. The right bronchomediastinal trunk may connect the right lymphatic duct, and the left trunk to the thoracic duct, [1] although more frequently, they open independently into the junction of the internal jugular vein and subclavian veins on their respective sides.
These are drained by the right lymphatic duct. [1] Diagram showing parts of the body that drain into the right lymphatic duct. The lymph transport, in the thoracic duct, is mainly caused by the action of breathing, aided by the duct's smooth muscle and by internal valves which prevent the lymph from flowing back down again. There are also two ...
terminal bronchiole. respiratory bronchiole. alveolar duct. alveolar sac. alveolus; At each division point or generation, one airway branches into two smaller airways. The human respiratory tree may consist on average of 23 generations, while the respiratory tree of the mouse has up to 13 generations. Proximal divisions (those closest to the ...
Lactiferous ducts are ducts that converge and form a branched system connecting the nipple to the lobules of the mammary gland.When lactogenesis occurs, under the influence of hormones, the milk is moved to the nipple by the action of smooth muscle contractions along the ductal system to the tip of the nipple.
A lymph duct is a great lymphatic vessel that empties lymph into one of the subclavian veins. There are two lymph ducts in the human body —the right lymphatic duct and the thoracic duct . The right lymphatic duct drains lymph from the right upper limb, right side of thorax and right halves of head and neck .
Terminal end buds (TEBs) are highly proliferative structures at the ends of elongating lactiferous ducts which are involved in development of the mammary glands. [1] TEBs are responsible for the formation of the mammary ductal tree during female puberty .
Some flexible duct markets prefer to avoid using flexible duct on the return air portions of HVAC systems, however flexible duct can tolerate moderate negative pressures. The UL181 test requires a negative pressure of 200 Pa. To use flexible ducting in a system, make sure to pull the duct tight so you get the full internal diameter.
