MAMMARY GLANDS (Breast):
Gross anatomy
 Specialized cutaneous glandular structure that is located in the superficial fascia of the
anterior chest wall, lying over the fascia of pectoralis muscle.
 Rudimentary in males due to lack of endocrine support (estrogen and progesterone).
Becomes functional at puberty.
 Parts of breast: nipple, areola, lobes and lobules (parenchyma), Axillary process,
suspensory ligament of Cooper (from stroma), lactiferous ducts and sinuses.



Bed of breast:
 formed by 2/3rd of pectoralis fascia and 1/3rd of it formed by fascia of serratus anterior
muscle.
 Extends horizontally from parasternal to mid axillary line, and vertically from 2 nd or 3rd
rib to 6th rib
 Retro mammary space: space between the pectoralis fascia (which forms the bed of
breast) and breast.
 This space allows movement of breast over the pectoralis fascia.

, Axillary process:
 part of mammary gland that may extend from the inferolateral edge of pectoralis major
towards axillary fossa
 Also known as tail of Spence.
 May be enlarged during menstrual cycle, can be confused with lump (tumor) or enlarged
axillary lymph nodes.(lymphoma)




Suspensory ligaments:
 Condensations of fibrous connective tissue that attach the mammary glands to dermis
of overlying skin
 Well developed in superior part of breast
 Provides shape and support to lobes and lobules of breast
