Mammary glands usually occur on the ventral surface of females in rows (when there are more than two glands). Humans and apes have two mammary glands (one right, one left), while other animals can have a dozen or more.
Their unique characteristics include (1) a dorsal hollow nerve cord (most other animals have a ventral nerve cord) above the notochord. At its anterior end, the nerve cord becomes enlarged to form the brain.
At approximately the 16th day of human development, the embryo begins to fold ventrally (with the embryo's ventral surface becoming concave) in two directions: the sides of the embryo fold in on each other and the head and tail fold towards one ...
