Picture of human milk ducts goes viral
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.

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?
I normally just pick a couple of pictures from this, but they're all crackers this week....
