A photo of milk ducts has gone viral on social media and everyone is freaking out

- for good reason.

The responses to the woman's tweet ranged from some sharing in her traumatised feelings to some finding the image to be beautiful and flower-like. Others were just intrigued. For those of you going into full panic mode, you can rest assured that the image isn't entirely accurate. They aren't really that symmetrical.

"Lobes are not muscle, and that's probably my biggest gripe with photo," Rodriguez says. "Most organs, when you depict them, tend to be red because it's the colour of blood, but when you put it together like this it looks like we have these flower muscles on our breasts and that's not the case."

Viral milk duct image was inaccurate screenshot from anatomy appAn image depicting the female breasts' inner workings prompted contrasting reactions when it went viral on social media, but it is not entirely correct. What a load of rot. Where does it say they’re “skeletal muscle”? They’re depictions of lobules & ducts, & apart from being somewhat more symmetrical than real ones, it’s not far off. Oh, by the way, I’ve been teaching clinical anatomy for decades! Must be a VERY slow news day!

Three-step guide to slashing your petrol costs this EasterPetrol prices hit $1.45 a litre in the week leading up to the Easter holidays, rising 7 cents to 21 cents a litre in just a seven-day period to a 22-week high. Careful, someone will follow that advice and then complain their car is stuffed. Considering the relative exploration, production, processing and transportation costs shouldn't petrol be more expensive than milk? Don't drive, saves a fortune. 🤣

From British race patriotism to inclusion: we are not a racist nation“Racist” is a powerful accusation to make against anyone, and it has been frequently applied to Australia’s political mainstream - but it's not warranted. Only 660 out of 854,870 net migrants to Australia from 2011-2016 were from Europe. Western Civilization was a gift from our forefathers and a great one at that. It was never ours to give away. We have betrayed both our ancestors and our children. 😔 Islam is not a race, and criticizing it is a right being eroded by politically correct journalists like you who equate criticizing a violent, misogynistic religion with racism. start a gofundme site to send the troublesome black African immigrants home and see how that goes
