Adipose and fibrous tissues in the breast, collectively known as stroma, provide what characteristic?

The relative size and consistency of the breast The glands that produce milk The passages to the nipple The lobes of the breast

Correct Answer:

The relative size and consistency of the breast

Explanation:

Adipose and fibrous tissues form the supportive framework of the breast, called the stroma. This stroma largely determines how big the breast is and how it feels: more fat makes it larger and softer, while the fibrous tissue gives shape and firmness. The milk-producing glands, ducts to the nipple, and lobes are part of the glandular tissue (the functional part, not the supporting stroma). So the characteristic provided by the stroma is the relative size and consistency of the breast.
