These condensations of fibrous connective tse, particularly well developed inthe superior part ofthe gland, help support the lobes and abules of the mammary ‘lon During puberty (ages 8-5 years}, the breasts normaly enlarge, owing in pat to glandular development Sut primarily ‘rom increased fat deposition. The areola and nipples als enlarge. Breast size and shape are determined in pat by genetic, ethnic, ané ietary factors. The latiferous ducts give rise to buds that doveop into 15-20 lbules of the ‘mammary slang, which constitute the parenchyma (functional substance) ofthe mammary gland. Thus each lobule s rained bya lactierous duct, al of which converge to open independenty. Each duct has a diated portion deep to the areola, the latiferous sinus, in which a smal roplt of mi accumulates or remains in the nursing mater. As the infant begins to suckle, compression ofthe areola (and actifrous snus beneath it) expresses the accumulated Aroplets and encourages the infant continue nursing asthe hormarally meciated letdown reflex ensues.

The areola and nipple are particulary subject to chafing and intation as mother and baby begin the nursing experience. The nipples are conical or clinical prominences in the centers of the areola.

VASCULATURE OF BREAST ‘The arterial suppy of the breast (Fig. 1.238 6 8) derives from the: ‘+ Medial mammary branches of perforating branches anc anterior intercostal branches ofthe internal thoracic ‘artery, originating from the subclavian artery. + Lateral thoracic and thoracoacromial arteries, branches af the allay artery 1 Posterior intercostal arteries, branches of the thoracic aorta in the 2nd, 3, and th intercostal spaces.

NERVES OF BREAST ‘Te nerves ofthe Breast derive frm anterior and ateral cutaneous branches ofthe th-6th intercostal nerves (Fis. 1.15) The brancres ofthe intercostal nerves passthrough the pectoral fascia covering the pectorais major to reach coverying subcutaneous tissue and skin ofthe breast, The branches ofthe intercostal nerves convey sensory fibers from te sin ofthe breast and sympathetic fibers tothe blood vessels in the breasts and smooth muscle in the overying skin and nipple Surface Anatomy of Thoracic Wall The claviles (oar bones) le subcutaneeusl, forming bony ridges a the junction of the thorax and neck (Fig. 1.25).
