The
Montgomery's Glands
in a front view allows you to see them more clearly. You can see
three very distinct Montgomery's Glands just below the nipple, as well
as the ones that are pointed out by the lines. These will be more
prominent when the breast is cold or sexually stimulated.
The Areola
in this image is difficult to distinguish, since it's coloration is
very close to that of the skin of the breast that surrounds it. The
smooth texture seen in this view indicates that the body is warm. The
Nipple and Montgomery's (Areolar) Glands become more prominent and the
Areolar skin temporarily takes on a wrinkled texture when the person is
cold, sexually excited, frightened or otherwise stimulated. The areolae
on one woman may be as small as an inch in diameter and on another it
could cover one half of the breast. Pregnancy and breastfeeding usually
causes it to take on a darker pigmentation and become larger in
diameter.
Blood Vessels
These tend to become more visible at certain times and may always be
present in some breasts. Pregnancy and lactation can cause them to
become more visible while the breast is getting ready for (or
maintaining) the process of producing milk. Breasts have a relatively
small amount of blood vessels, requiring more Lymphatic Vessels to do
the task of eliminating the toxins and waste products from the breast
cells.
Optional Views
For more clarity, some other views of the exterior features of the breast
are available
here.
