The stroma of the breast is composed of which tissues?
Correct Answer:
Adipose and fibrous tissues
Explanation:
The stroma is the supportive framework of the breast, made mainly of adipose (fat) tissue and fibrous connective tissue, including structures like Cooper’s ligaments that help hold the breast in place. This is the tissue that gives shape and elasticity, not the milk-producing parts. The glandular tissue that actually produces milk and the ducts that transport it belong to the parenchyma, not the stroma. Nipple tissue and lactiferous ducts are part of the ductal/parenchymal system, not the stroma itself. So adipose and fibrous tissues together best describe the stroma.
