Lactinferous ducts: The breast contains "milk producing tissue"(lactineferous ducts) that when stimulated by the hormone prolactin, like cows and other mammals make milk. That is the "udder" truth!.

Agree with Dr. I: Breast is a gland like a salivary gland, except that it makes milk instead of saliva. There are other types of glands in the body that make different things, e.g. pancreas, stomach and intestinal glands, endometrial glands etc.
