What are Montgomery's Tubercles?

Found on the nipple and areola
Enlarges during pregnancy
Secretes an antibacterial-like substance that protects the nipples and areola
Secretes hormones for milk production

The correct answer is: Secretes an antibacterial-like substance that protects the nipples and areola

Montgomery's Tubercles are small raised bumps found on the surface of the nipple and areola. They enlarge during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. These tubercles secrete an oily substance that acts as a lubricant and antibacterial protection for the nipples and areola, aiding in the protection and lubrication during breastfeeding. This secretion helps to prevent infections and irritation that can occur during breastfeeding.
