lattifero


Explanation:
Dato il contesto, mi sembra questo l'unico significato possibile (ovvero: lattifero:
1 che produce latte: vacca lattifera | pianta lattifera, da cui geme il latice
2 (anat.) che conduce il latte secreto dalla ghiandola mammaria: dotto, canale lattifero
Dal diz. Garzanti

Secondo me c'è un errore nell'inglese.

lactiferous sinus


Explanation:
As I said in the previous question, the breast is made up, from the gross anatomy point of view, of milk (lactiferous) ducts, lactiferous sinuses (which modern techniques have shown us do not in fact exist), glandular tissue, adipose (fatty) tissue, connective tissue and chest muscles.

For information on breast anatomy see:
http://www.007b.com/breast_anatomy.php
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Breast_anatomy_normal_sche...
http://cme.medscape.com/viewarticle/548921_2

As I said, new research shows us that the lactiferous sinuses do not in fact exist (they were a result of old anatomic studies) , however many texts still carry the old terms and drawings.
