Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Milk production occurs within the acini cells of the mammary glands in the breast tissue. Montgomery's glands are responsible for lubricating and moisturizing the areola, while the areola is the dark-colored area around the nipple. The mammary ridge, also known as the milk line, is a primitive embryonic structure where breast tissue first develops but is not responsible for milk production.
