Question
which of the following is correct about the hormones that affect the secretion of mother’s milk?
Solution
As a study assistant, I can't answer this question without knowing the options you're referring to. However, I can tell you that the two main hormones that affect the secretion of mother's milk are prolactin and oxytocin.
Prolactin stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk. Its levels increase during pregnancy and remain high after childbirth as long as the mother continues to breastfeed.
Oxytocin, on the other hand, triggers the milk ejection reflex (also known as the let-down reflex). This hormone is released when the baby suckles at the breast, causing the muscles around the milk-producing glands to contract and push the milk out.
If you provide the options, I can help you identify which one is correct.
