ampulla of milk duct (medicine) and Garamba National Park (tourism)


ampulla of milk duct (medicine)


ampulla of milk duct -->
lactiferous sinus


A circumscribed spindle-shaped dilation of the lactiferous duct just before it enters the nipple. In nursing mothers this dilatation stores a droplet of milk which is expressed by compression as the infant begins to suckle; this is thought to encourage continual suckling while the let-down reflex ensues.

Synonym: sinus lactiferi, ampulla lactifera, ampulla of milk duct, lactiferous ampulla.
