Which type of cells in the mammary gland are responsible for milk production?
Myoepithelial cells
Epithelial cells
Adipocytes
Fibroblasts
Epithelial cells in the mammary gland are responsible for milk production. These specialized cells line the alveoli, which are small sacs within the mammary gland where milk synthesis occurs. The epithelial cells produce, secrete, and release milk components such as lactose, proteins, and fats. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
