The nipple and the areola are the darker part of the breast. The nipple is the central area through which the milk ducts open. The areola is the circular dark area around the nipple. The "bumps" on the areola and nipple are Montgomery's tubercles. These tubercles contain the opening of sebaceous and sweat glands (Montgomery glands) that secrete lubricating substances for the nipple.
