What information does the lactation diagram provide about the process of milk production and secretion in breastfeeding mothers?
The lactation diagram shows how milk is produced and secreted in breastfeeding mothers. It illustrates the structures involved in milk production, such as the mammary glands and milk ducts, and how hormones like prolactin and oxytocin regulate the process. The diagram also demonstrates how milk is released from the breast during breastfeeding.

What is the name of the hormone that regulates milk secretion?
The hormone that regulates milk secretion is called prolactin. It is produced by the pituitary gland in response to the stimulation of the nipples during breastfeeding.
The main organelles and structures involved with milk production and secretion in their correct sequence are?
The RER and the Golgi are involved in producing the milk product which is placed into the parenchyma. The parenchyma rests inside the breasts and contains 10 to 15 milk ducts connected by the septa. Blood vessels, lymphatic's and nerves run in the septa and merge with the fascia.
What hormone stimulates the contraction of the muscles in the uterus and secretion of milk in the mammary gland?
Uterine contractions are stimulated by the release of Oxytocin a hypothalamic hormone which has uterine contracting and milk releasing actions.
What is the difference between production and secretion?
'Production' is a manufacturing process while 'Secretion' is a release process. For instance, bile, which is required for the digestion of fats and oil in the GI tract is 'produces' by the liver but is 'secreted' by the gall bladder. This is because when the liver cells produce bile, it gets stored in the gall bladder. Presence of fatty foods in the gut then stimulates its release (secretion). Most organs, however, combine functions of production and release simultaneously but any organ that secretes is better refered to as a 'gland'. - J. B. DAVIS
What is the type of secretion in which no cytoplasm is lost with the product?
Merocrine Glands release its product and no part of the gland is lost or damaged.
What is the definition or meaning of lactating?
Lactation is the secretion of milk from a mammals mammary glands. Originating from the nipples, lactation is used mainly in breastfeeding newborn babies.
Milk production is an example of what type of secretion?
In mammals, it's called lactation.
What is galactorrhea?
the secretion of breast milk in men, or in women who are not breastfeeding an infant.
Ovaries produce which hormone inhibin or prolactin?
hormone that stimulates milk production and the secretion of progesterone in mammals; hormone which stimulates secretion from the crop gland in birds. prolactin gonadotropic hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary; in females it stimulates growth of the mammary glands and lactation after parturition [syn: lactogenic hormone, luteotropin].
What is the name of the hormone that regulates milk secretion?
The hormone that regulates milk secretion is called prolactin. It is produced by the pituitary gland in response to the stimulation of the nipples during breastfeeding.
What is sebum production?
An oily secretion from glands. Example: he has higher sebum production.
What does hypersecretory mean?
Hypersecretory-- Excessive production of a bodily secretion.
What is the female breast are responsible for the production and secretion milk?
alveoli
The production of gastric juice is an example of what digestive system task?
secretion
How does milk come out of a cow?
The control of mammary gland development and lactation is similar in the cow and human. It requires the action of prolactin secreted by the pituitary gland in concert with the actions of estrogen and progesterone and those supportive actions of other hormones. Milk is synthesized and secreted by the alveolar cells of the mammary gland, which do not fully develop until pregnancy. Full lactation (lactogenesis) is initiated at parturition when progesterone levels fall; progesterone inhibits milk secretion. In the cow, maintenance of lactation (galactopoiesis) does not require the continued production of prolactin, and it is believed that this function is carried out by the secretion of growth hormone from the pituitary gland.
What is the medical term meaning diminished or lack of urine production or secretion?
Diminished or scant urine production is oliguria. Anuria is absent urine production.
A low secretion of luteinizing hormone in the normal male adult would cause what?
A low secretion of luteinizing hormone in a normal male adult can result in decreased testosterone production, which can lead to symptoms like low libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass, and fatigue. It may also impact sperm production and fertility.
