What role does prolactin play in the body?
It is essential for the development of the mammary glands for lactation during pregnancy, and for stimulating and maintaining lactation after child-birth.
Glands that produce milk during lactation?
The milk producing glands of the breast are called mammary glands.
What is the lactation period of sheep?
Lactation is the production of milk by the mammary glands and occurs during pregnancy and after birth if the offspring are being fed their mother's milk. The lactation period of sheep depends upon how long they are allowed to feed their young or how long they are milked for. When either of these cease, so does milk production.
What is prolactin?
Prolactin is a hormone produced the by the anterior pituitary which is controlled and stimulated bu infant suckling; stimulates growth of mammary glands and process of lactation; increased amounts during pregnancy; causes milk production
What is prolactin reflex?
Prolactin is a hormone produced the by the anterior pituitary which is controlled and stimulated bu infant suckling; stimulates growth of mammary glands and process of lactation; increased amounts during pregnancy; causes milk production
Is it true that the levels of FSH and LH increase during lactation?
No, this is not true. FSH starts to suppress during pregnancy. LH remains low throughout lactation, but begins to rise again during weaning.
What liquid is secreted during lactation?
The liquid secreted during lactation is milk. This is how farmers get milk from cows, by giving them hormones that make them pregnant all the time so they produce lots of milk.
Which structure prepares the mammary glands to secrete milk during the first three months of pregnancy?
The mammary glands do not secrete milk during the first three months of pregnancy. The mammary glands produce milk to feed the baby when the baby is born AFTER pregnancy.
What is the importance of cleavage in development?
Cleavage itself is not necessary during development - it is a result of development, specifically of mammary gland development during puberty in humans. Mammary gland development is important because the mammary gland provides 100% of a newborn's nutrition up to 24 months after birth.
What is an organ that produces milk?
Internally each mammary gland consists of 15-20 lobes which radiate around the nipple. Within each love are smaller chambers called lobules, containing the glandular alveoli that produce milk during lactation
How much milk a cow will yield every day during lactation?
approx 40 pints
How make yourself lactate without getting pregnant?
every woman who is self-confident, in good mental health, and whose breasts are physically sound can induce lactation and breast feed. Lactation, whether induced or postpartum, is not dependent on any of the sexual organs, rather it is the result of a positive mental attitude, physical stimulation of the breasts, and brain chemistry. This is true for women who have never been pregnant, as well as women who are post-hysterectomy or post-oophorectomy. For most women, the ability to lactate and breast feed typically begins in the teen years, and extends well past the child bearing years. Even though nipple and breast stimulation often cause sexual arousal, the mammary system functions independently of the reproductive organs, making it possible to induce lactation and breast feed without having been pregnant. The quality of milk and the physical means by which a woman lactates, after having artificially induced lactation, is identical to postpartum lactation with the exception of the production of colostrum. Colostrum, which is normally produced for the first few days postpartum, is not produced during the process of induced lactation or relactation. Physical techniques of suckling, methods of increasing lactation, and care of the breasts are the same for induced lactation as it is for postpartum lactation. The only differences between induced lactation and postpartum lactation is the method by which the essential milk producing hormones are stimulated into production and the lack of colostrum.... http://stargatelibraries.com/PossibleToInduce.html
