Milk is produced in the mammary glands and stored in milk ducts. When a baby suckles, it triggers the release of hormones that cause the muscles around the milk ducts to contract, pushing milk towards the nipple for expulsion through breastfeeding.
The lactiferous sinuses are part of the milk duct system in the breast. They store and hold milk produced by the mammary glands until it is released during breastfeeding. When the baby suckles, the milk is released from the lactiferous sinuses and flows through the ducts to the nipple for the baby to feed.
Breast ducts, more commonly known as lactiferous ducts, form a branched system which connect to the tip of the nipple in the breast. These are the structures which carry milk to the nipple in a lactating female.
Milk is transported to the nipple through a network of ducts in the breast known as milk ducts. During breastfeeding or pumping, the hormone oxytocin stimulates the muscles around these ducts to contract, pushing the milk toward the nipple. The milk is stored in the lactiferous sinuses, which are reservoirs located just beneath the nipple, ready to be released when the baby latches on or when expressed.
