Each teat carries a duct connecting to the milk-producing gland behind it, so that a young animal can suck milk directly from it. The word is used both for animals, as on the udder of a cow, and, informally, for the rubber tip on a feeding bottle made for a baby, shaped to resemble one.
How TEAT is used
