Areolae serve several purposes, primarily related to breastfeeding and sensory function. They contain smooth muscle fibers that can help elevate the nipple during breastfeeding, facilitating milk delivery. The pigmentation of the areola may also help infants locate the nipple, while the glands in the area produce lubrication to reduce friction during nursing. Additionally, areolae can enhance sensory stimulation during intimate activities.
