Minnebusen

Minnebusen, also known as the mammary gland, is a modified sweat gland located in the breasts of most female mammals, including humans. Its primary function is to produce milk for the nourishment of offspring, although it also plays a role in sexual arousal and can be used for non-nutritive purposes such as breastfeeding. The mammary gland consists of several structures, including the lobules, which produce milk, and the ducts, which transport the milk to the nipple. The mammary gland is highly sensitive to hormonal changes, particularly estrogen and progesterone, which regulate its development and function. In humans, the mammary glands typically begin to develop during puberty and continue to function throughout a woman's reproductive years. The size, shape, and sensitivity of the mammary glands can vary among individuals and may be influenced by factors such as genetics, hormonal fluctuations, and lifestyle. In some cases, the mammary glands may become enlarged or painful due to conditions such as mastitis, fibrocystic breast changes, or breast cancer. Regular self-examinations and medical check-ups can help detect any abnormalities early and facilitate prompt treatment.
