Tag: Intermammary sulcus

The human body is full of fascinating, and often misunderstood, anatomical features. For example, the space often referred to as the hollow between breasts has a specific medical term and is a normal part of human anatomy. The correct anatomical name for this hollow space is the intermammary cleft or intermammary sulcus.

The anatomical term for the space separating the breasts is the intermammary cleft, a fact recognized by the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists. While this area is colloquially known as “cleavage,” understanding the medical terminology provides a more precise and authoritative perspective on chest anatomy and skin health.
