A papilla is a small nipple-like anatomical projection; in breast anatomy, the mammary papilla is the nipple at the center of the areola.
Breasts are chest structures containing fat, glands, ducts, nerves, and connective tissue, with roles in lactation, sensation, body image, and sexuality.
The areola is the circular or oval area of pigmented skin surrounding the nipple, with natural variation in size, color, texture, and sensitivity.
