Abstract
Summary
Data have been presented to show the pressures built up in the mammary gland due to accumulation of the milk secreted and the effect of such pressures on the rate of secretion. The effect of air pressure on the rate of secretion has also been reported. It is concluded that as pressure develops in the gland the rate of secretion decreases until a pressure equal to 25 mm. Hg. is developed when secretion is stopped and resorption sets in.
