Mammary


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to the mammae or breasts; as, the mammary arteries and veins.

Example Sentences:

  • (5) Histochemical and immunocytochemical staining of the outgrowths with reagents that depict epithelial, myoepithelial, and lactating alveolar cells (peanut lectin alone, monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to rat caseins) indicate similar cell compositions and arrangements for all outgrowths irrespective of their source; these are also similar to the mammary glands of the perphenazine-stimulated or lactating hosts.
  • (6) On the other hand, histological involvement of the internal mammary nodes appeared to be an important and independent prognostic factor.
