** '''Lobes''': the internal compartments of the mamma, separated by adipose tissue.  The lobes are divided into '''lobules'''.  Lobules consist of connective tissue containing '''alveoli''', which are clusters of milk secreting cells.

** '''Lactiferous Ducts''': large ducts conveying milk from the alveoli to the milk sinus.  The openings of lactiferous ducts convey milk formed in the alveolus to the gland sinus.

* Teat: projecting part of the mammary gland containing part of the milk sinus.

* '''Teat''': projecting part of the mammary gland containing part of the milk sinus.

** Teat Canal: canal leading from the teat sinus to the teat opening.   

** '''Teat Canal''': canal leading from the teat sinus to the teat opening.   

** Teat Opening: opening of the teat canal.  The exit point for milk or entrance point for bacteria into the mammae.

* Sphincter: muscular fibres surrounding the teat opening that prevent milk flow except during suckling or milking.
