What are those areas called?
Are you ready for the answers?
1. Thoracic wall: The thoracic wall provides structural support and protection for the breast and underlying organs.
2. Pectoral muscles: The pectoral muscles support the breast tissue and play a role in its overall shape and movement.
3. Lobules: Lobules are the milk-producing glands within the breast that are critical for lactation.
4. Nipple: The nipple is the outlet for milk delivery during breastfeeding and is a key sensory structure.
5. Areola: The areola surrounds the nipple and contains glands that lubricate and protect the nipple during breastfeeding.
6. Milk ducts: Milk ducts transport milk from the lobules to the nipple, facilitating breastfeeding.
7. Fatty tissue: Fatty tissue provides the bulk of the breast, contributing to its size, shape, and cushioning.
8. Skin: The skin encases and protects the breast tissue, maintaining its integrity and health. There are many exposed nerve endings, especially in the nipple, which makes things very sensitive and pleasurable!
