HOLD MATURING OVUM AND SECRETE HORMONES (ESTROGEN, PROGESTERONE, ANDROGENS, AND RELAXIN)
The Breasts • Accessories to reproductive process • Nourish infants after birth • Inner structure • Gland and duct tissue • Fibrous tissue • Fat • Divided into several lobules • Contain alveoli that produce milk when stimulated by pituitary hormone prolactin • Milk transported to nipple by the lactiferous ducts • Areola} pigmented area that surrounds nipple • Mongomery’s tubercles} small round sebaceous glands that produce a lubricant that protects nipple tissue (visible and under areola)
