Mammary Ridge
Mammary ridge extends from the axilla to the groin
(inguinal region).
In human, the ridge disappears EXCEPT for a small part
in the pectoral region. (that’s why we have only 1
nipple on each side)
If some parts did not disappear the patient will have
extra (accessory) nipples.
In animals (example: cats) it persists, so several
mammary glands are formed along this ridge: and they
have multiple nipples.
Retromammary space is a loose areolar tissue that separates the breast from the pectoralis major muscle. The retromammary space is often the site of breast implantation due to its location away from key nerves and structures that support the breast.
