    The document summarizes the anatomy of breasts. It describes breasts as accessory glands that contain glandular and fatty tissue and produce milk through lobules and lactiferous ducts. The nipple is a small conical projection at the center of the breast surrounded by pigmented skin. Blood supply to the breasts comes from branches of the axillary arteries and drains into axillary and mammary veins, while lymph drainage flows to superficial axillary nodes.
