Breast side story (history of breast).
Jul 6, 2021·00:42:54·Tap to summarize
The breast is one of two prominences located on the upper ventral region of the torso of primates. In females, it serves as the mammary gland, which produces and secretes milk to feed infants.[2] Both females and males develop breasts from the same embryological tissues. At puberty, estrogens, in conjunction with growth hormone, cause breast development in female humans and to a much lesser extent in other primates. Breast development in other primate females generally only occurs with pregnancy.Your breasts should feel warm (but not hot) to the touch, like the rest of your torso. Take Note: Have a doctor check out any areas of your breasts that are extra warm or reddened.Each breast has 15 to 20 sections, or lobes, that surround the nipple like spokes on a wheel. Inside these lobes are smaller lobes, called lobules. At the end of each lobule are tiny "bulbs" that make milk. These are linked together by small tubes called ducts, which carry milk to the nipples.
