topicLogo Breast

This article is about the human breast. For other animals, see Udder and Mammary gland . Boobs redirects here. For other uses, see Boob (disambiguation) . For other uses, see Breast (disambiguation) The breast is the upper ventral region of the torso of a primate , in left and right sides, which in a female contains the mammary gland that secretes milk used to feed infants . Both men and women develop breasts from the same embryological tissues. However, at puberty , female sex hormones , mainly estrogen , promote breast development, which does not occur in men, due to the higher amount of testosterone . As a result, women s breasts become far more prominent than those of men.
