    Picture of human milk ducts goes viral
    please log in to view this image
    Image copyright Twitter
    Milk Ducts? What are they? Why do they look like that? Do I really have them? I don't want breasts anymore.
    That was the reaction on Twitter after one user shared an image of the flower-like muscles.
    The milk-making glands are divided into segments and the narrow tubes - or ducts - carry the milk from each segment to the nipple.
    But for some that's apparently not common knowledge - which is why many people online seemed to find the picture hard to swallow.

    Pretty in pink: Scotland's cherry blossom explosion
    • 27 April 2019
    The good weather over the Easter weekend may have disappeared but BBC Scotland news website readers have been keen to share their images of the explosion of cherry blossom that the spring sunshine created.

    Anele McGonigle, from Paisley, was one of the many who said the cherry blossom trees brightened her day.

    Here is a selection of readers' photos of this week's blossom.

    Some great pics there, always a sign Spring has sprung. Here's some of the capital's best displays, I remember as a boy my Dad who was a keen gardener taking us to Regent's Park each year and the fantastic colours of the rows of blossom...

    We used to go to Syon Park and Osterley Park for days out, as well as trips up Horsenden Hill - afterwards we'd go to The Ballot Box (?) pub where we'd play in the beer garden while my parents had a drink - is it still there?
