Can anyone tell me where the lacteal duct is? I think it does *not*
refer to milk ducts, but more likely to: "Lacteal 2. any of the
intestinal lymphatics that transport chyle", which evidently refers to
something in the small intestine?
Thanks!

Dear Shannon,

They appear to be in the abdomen. The word Lacteal means milky fluid.
Lacteal \Lac"te*al\, n. (Anat.)
One of the lymphatic vessels which convey chyle from the
small intestine through the mesenteric glands to the thoracic
duct; a chyliferous vessel.RegardsRochelleRegistered Homeopath, EFT(Advanced)Practitionerwww.southporthomeopathy.co.uk
