I know they're skin on the top... but what is in the inside?
Is it cartilidge?
Is it fat?
I was just wondering, because I was debating this with someone... and I would rather not ask my Biology teacher a question like this.
Does anyone know?

Mostly fat. There are a lot of veins and blood vessels in there too, plus the usual things that go with skin, such as sweat glands and skin receptors for feeling...
But, mostly fat.
Its why, when women lose a lot of weight, they lose thier mammary glands too, (they reduce).
I wish you well..

The term breast, also known by the Latin mamma in anatomy, refers to the upper ventral region of an animal's torso, particularly that of mammals, including human beings. In addition, the breasts are parts of a female mammal's body which contain the organs that secrete milk used to feed infants.
This article focuses on human female breasts, but it should be noted that male humans also have breasts (although usually less prominent) that are structurally identical and homologous to the female, as they develop embryologically from the same tissues. While the mammary glands that produce milk are present in the male, they normally remain undeveloped. In some situations male breast development does occur, a condition called gynecomastia. Milk production can also occur in both men and women as an adverse effect of some medicinal drugs (such as some antipsychotic medication), extreme physical stress or in endocrine disorders.

no. infact, your biology teacher is the best. he/she would know what you are made of and will tell you the way you can understand.
