breast definition and meaning

What is "breast"?

The breast is a specialized part of the human body that is located on the front of the chest, specifically in the area above the ribcage. It consists of glandular tissue and fatty tissue, forming a rounded or conical shape. The breast is typically more developed in females, but it is also present in males, albeit in smaller sizes. Its primary function is to produce milk in females to nourish infants. The breast can vary in size, shape, and appearance among individuals, influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and body composition. It is a visible and prominent feature that plays a role in physical attraction, body confidence, and cultural ideals of beauty.
