Women's Wellbeing > The Female Breasts The term breast refers to the raised mound of tissue that grows on the upper anterior ventral region of the human torso (front of the human chest) and breasts are also found on many other mammals. While breasts are more visible on adult women, men also have breasts which are usually less prominent, however they are structurally identical to women's, as they develop from the same embryologic tissues. Male breasts are typically more prominent on obese men and breast growth in boys and men is becoming more common due to the hormonal influences of chemicals in our environment. Female breasts come in many shapes and sizes and each breast is made up of mammary glands and milk ducts, which secrete milk used to feed new born babies, and a system of lymphatic nodes and ducts to remove body waste, and fatty tissue which makes up the bulk of the breast tissue. Each breast has a nipple surrounded by an areola which may vary in colour from pink to dark brown. The shape of the breasts has nothing to do with the function of breasts to produce milk although larger breasts will produce more milk. Breastfeeding.
