| lactiferous | Bearing or containing milk or a milky fluid; as, the lactiferous vessels, cells, or tissue of various vascular plants. Origin: l. Lac, lactis, milk: cf. F. Lactifere. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
|---|---|
| lactiferous ampulla | 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. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lactiferous ducts | The ducts, numbering 15 or 20, which drain the lobes of the mammary gland; they open at the nipple. Synonym: ductus lactiferi, canalicular ducts, galactophore, galactophorous canals, galactophorous ducts, mamillary ducts, mammary ducts, milk ducts, tubuli galactophori, tubuli lactiferi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lactiferous gland | <anatomy> Milk producing gland of female mammals. An adapted sweat gland, it is made up of milk producing alveolar cells, surrounded by contractile myoepithelial cells, together with considerable numbers of fat cells. Milk production is hormonally controlled. (18 Nov 1997) |
| 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. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal tubule | <anatomy> Small structures in the kidney that filter the blood and produce the urine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mesonephric tubule | An excretory tubule of the mesonephros. Synonym: segmental tubule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metanephric tubule | An excretory unit of the metanephros or permanent kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| collecting tubule | The continuation of the tubulus seminifer contortus which becomes straight just before entering the mediastinum to form the rete testis. Synonym: tubulus renalis rectus, tubulus seminifer rectus, collecting tubule, straight tubule, tubulus rectus, tubulus rectus, vasa recta. (05 Mar 2000) |
| connecting tubule | A narrow arching tubule of the kidney joining the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting tubule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| convoluted seminiferous tubule | One of two or three twisted curved tubules in each lobule of the testis, in which spermatogenesis occurs. Synonym: tubulus seminifer contortus, tubulus contortus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| convoluted tubule of kidney | The highly convoluted segments of the nephron in the renal labyrinth comprising the proximal convoluted tubule, which leads from Bowman's capsule to the descending limb of Henle's loop, and the distal convoluted tubule, which leads from the ascending limb of Henle's loop to the collecting tube. Synonym: tubulus renalis contortus, Ferrein's tube, tubulus contortus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pronephric tubule | An excretory unit of the pronephros, present only in vestigial form in human embryos. (05 Mar 2000) |
| segmental tubule | An excretory tubule of the mesonephros. Synonym: segmental tubule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| seminiferous tubule | <anatomy> In the testicles, the network of tubes where sperm cells are formed. (09 Oct 1997) |
| lactiferous tubule |
One of the lactiferous ducts of the breast. It provides a channel for the milk formed in the lobes of the breast to pass to the nipple. SYN: galactophorous tubule .
