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. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ampulla of the saemicircular canals | A circumscribed dilation of one extremity of each of the three bony saemicircular canals, anterior, posterior, and lateral; each contains an ampulla of the saemicircular ducts. Synonym: ampulla ossea, osseous ampulla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ampulla of the saemicircular ducts | A nearly spherical enlargement of one end of each of the three saemicircular ducts, anterior, posterior, and lateral, where they connect with the utricle. Each contains a neuroepithelial crista ampullaris. Synonym: ampulla membranacea, membranous ampulla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ampulla of uterine tube | The wide portion of the uterine (fallopian) tube near the fimbriated extremity; it has a complexly folded mucosa with a columnar epithelium of mostly ciliated cells between which are secretory cells. Synonym: ampulla tubae uterinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
