Erect breast nipple, artwork
Erect breast nipple. Artwork of a perpendicular section through a female breast nipple (papilla) in an erect state. The section shows cylindrically arranged muscle cells (red) that cause the erection. The response can be due to cold temperatures, sexual arousal, and breastfeeding. In the latter two cases, the contraction of the smooth muscles in and around the nipple are due to the release of the hormone oxytocin

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the intricate anatomy of a female breast nipple in an erect state. The print showcases a perpendicular section, revealing cylindrically arranged muscle cells that are responsible for causing the erection. This natural response can be triggered by various factors such as cold temperatures, sexual arousal, and breastfeeding. The illustration features a white background which allows the viewer to focus solely on the detailed biology of this organ. The artist has skillfully depicted the epidermis and mammary gland, highlighting their normal and healthy appearance. Cutouts of lactiferous ducts and smooth muscles further enhance our understanding of this complex structure. It is fascinating to note that this phenomenon is not limited to aesthetic or sexual purposes alone; it also serves an essential function during breastfeeding. In these cases, the contraction of smooth muscles surrounding the nipple occurs due to oxytocin release - a hormone crucial for milk letdown. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an exceptional visual representation of scientific knowledge. This print offers both educational value and artistic appeal, making it suitable for anyone interested in exploring human anatomy or appreciating biological artistry.
