You reassure her that these are a normal sign of her sexual maturation and tell her that they are which of the following?
A)
Skene glands
B)
Bartholin glands

Montgomery tubercles
D)
Cooper ligaments
Ans:
C
Feedback:
The small bumps or projections on the areolar surface known as Montgomery tubercles are sebaceous glands that keep the nipple area soft and elastic. At puberty and during pregnancy, increased levels of estrogen and progesterone cause the areola and nipple to become darker and more prominent and the Montgomery glands to become more active.
