What is Nipple?
[[File:Nipple.jpg|thumb|180x180px|The nipple and [[Breast|areola]] can clearly be seen.]] [[File:Woman's nipples.jpg|thumb|Breast of a woman, with erect nipples. Nipples are sensitive to touch, and [[Nipple stimulation|stimulating]] them may lead to [[sexual arousal]]. ]] The '''nipple''', also known as '''mammilla''', is a special [[structure]]. Female mammals (and women) use nipples for [[breastfeeding]]. The [[breast]] in male and female mammals is made the same way. The production of [[milk]] for breastfeeding is controlled by [[hormone]]s. This means that men cannot use their breasts to produce milk (unless they have a problem with their hormones). ==Related pages== * [[Breast]] * [[Pasties]] * [[Nipple piercing]] {{-}} {{Biology-stub}} [[Category:Torso]]
