In my last post I mentioned that a modern researcher named Ramsey has challenged the long standing observations of Cooper about breast structure and anatomy.

Some of the differences observed by Ramsey include:
1.    The milk ducts branch quite close to the nipple.

2.    There is no such thing as “lactiferous sinuses.” These “sinuses” which Cooper observed were produced by his method of inserting wax into the ducts to observe the breast better.

3.    There is glandular tissue present close to the nipple.

4.    There is minimal subcutaneous fat at the base of the nipple.
