What is the function of the breasts?

Breasts consist of milk nodes and ducts carrying the milk produced from those nodes to the nipple and fat and connective tissues which fill the interstitial area. Each breast is found in front of the pectoral muscles over the ribs. The nipple is the center of the dusky skin area called the areola. The breast also contains lymphatic ducts carrying a colorless fluid called lymph. Lymph ducts open out onto small round lymph nodes. Lymph node groups belonging to the breast are found primarily near the breast in the armpit, over the collar bone and nearby the sternum. Lymph nodes hold bacteria, cancer cells and the other harmful components to be found in the lymph system.
