Question
Oestrogen& progesterone are some hormones essential for milk production in the breast
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
This statement is false. Oestrogen and progesterone are essential for the development of the mammary glands (ducts and lobules) during puberty and pregnancy. However, the primary hormone that stimulates milk production (lactogenesis) after childbirth is prolactin. Oestrogen and progesterone actually inhibit milk production during pregnancy.
Hint
