6 - Nutrition during Lactation Flashcards
Process of Mammary gland development
Puberty: Ovaries Maturation - Estrogen and Progesterone Hormone increased - Lobular structure in the mammary gland is starting to develop - Ductal system is matured
Pregnancy: Luteal and Placental hormones is produced - Milk glands starting to develop - Tubules elongation and epithelial cells duplications
Hormones that stimulate Milk glands development ____ and tubules elongation & epithelial cells duplication stimulate by _______
Estrogen ; Progesterone
Characteristic of Ductal system Maturation
Increase of Fibrous and Fatty tissues around the ducts
6 hormones that contributing to breast development and lactation
Estrogen Progesterone Growth Hormone Placental Lactogen Prolactin Oxytocin
Estrogen has a role of ______ during lactation and in which stage of lactation is occur?
Ductal Growth ; Mammary gland differentiation with menstruation
Progesterone has a role of ______ during lactation and in which stage of lactation is occur?
Alveolar development; After onset of menses and during pregnancy
Human Placental Lactogen has a role of ______ during lactation and in which stage of lactation is occur?
Alveolar Development; Pregnancy
Prolactin has a role of ______ during lactation and in which stage of lactation is occur?
Alveolar development and Milk Secretion; Pregnancy and Breastfeeding (trimester of pregnancy to weaning)
Oxytocin has a role of ______ during lactation and in which stage of lactation is occur?
Letdown->Ejection of milk; From the onset of milk secretion to weaning
There are 3 steps of Lactogenesis, define each steps of lactogenesis.
Lactogenesis I: 2nd and 3rd trimester extends through 0-2 days od postpartum - Colostrum production ( High in sigA & vitamin K) - Lactose and protein increase
Lactogenesis II: 2-5 postpartum - Increased blood flow into mammary gland - increase the volume of milk when baby increase suckling
Lactogenesis III: 10 days postpartum - Foremilk ( increase water and lactose) Hindmilk ( increase fat and energy) - Milk composition more stable
Components of Milk
Lactose Milk fat Immunoglobulin Other plasma proteins and componenst water Sodium Potassium Chloride
Lactose is produced in ____ and secreted in ___
Secretory cells; Ducts (exocytosis)
Milk Fat is coming from ____ and secretes in ___
Triglycerides from mothers’ blood and new fatty acid in the breast; ducts
Immunoglobulin is coming from ____ and secretes in ___
Mothers’ blood and taken into alveolar cells; ducts
Water, Sodium. Potassium, and Chloride are using _____ to transport
Passive Diffusion
Pathway for Other plasma components and Leukocytes is ______
Paracellular Pathway (Pass directly between Cells)
Letdown Reflex Mechanism
Stimuli pass through the nerves into the hypothalamus - oxytocin hormone release from posterior pituitary gland
4 types of stimuli that cause letdown reflex
Infant suckling
Hearing a baby cry
Sexual Arousal
Nursing Thinking
Hormones that cause contraction of myoepithelial cells is ______
Oxytocin
Milk secretion is caused by _____ hormones and milk ejection is caused by _____
Oxytocin; Prolactin
