Lobules are tiny parts in a breast that resemble grapes and produce milk; there are millions of them in the breast. After the milk is produced, it is drained from the lobules to the nipple where it then transfers through the ducts. A duct is a pipe or tube shaped part of the breast that lets the milk move. The stroma is the tissue in the breast that is between the ducts and
