Q

This causes the alveolar cells to secrete milk and swells the alveoli.

A

Prolactin reflex

Pathway:

  1. Nerve impulses from sucking go to brain
  2. The pituitary gland releases prolactin into the blood
  3. This causes the alveolar cells to secrete milk and swells the alveoli

A

The milk ejection/oxytocin reflex

Pathway:

  1. Nerve impulses from sucking go to the brain
  2. The pituitary gland releases oxytocin into the bloodstream
