breast anatomy

An artist's depiction of the anatomy of a female breast and the mammary glands that provide milk to newborns. Surrounded by fat deposits, grape-like lobes converge at the lactiferous ducts and sinuses leading to the areola and nipple on the surface of the breast. Supportive ligaments attached to the pectoral muscle help to support the weight of the breast.
