Where does the milk production occur in the mammary gland?
RebeccaLynnGraves
Believe it or not, the glands that produce milk are mutated sweat glands. In the monotremes, or egg-laying mammals (platypus and echidna), milk oozes out over a wide patch of skin (the mother platypus flexes her belly muscles to make a sort of trough to catch it). In more advanced mammals, it's excreted at specific sites, called teats.
