What is the cow's udder?
The cow's mammary gland is called an udder. Mammary glands produce milk to nourish the baby calf. Mammary glands develop in the heifer prior to birth, and further develop and …grow when the heifer is pregnant. Cells in the alveoli of the udder differentiate from other types of cells to be able to secrete milk into the alveoli cavity. Since there are many alveoli (singular: alveolus), all the milk that has been secreted from the cells into the alveoli empty into ducts and subsequent larger ducts which further lead to the gland or milk cistern where all the milk is collected until it is time for milking or for the calf to drink from. The precise detail of how the udder develops in the cow is very complex, involving which cells differentiate in what way, growth and differentiation of the alveoli, expanding of the udder as the heifer gets closer to parturition, and milk secretion and synthesis. The general details posted above are as good as lay-men terms as I could make them. (MORE)
