Answer:

The correct answer is option C, PRL and oxytocin.

Explanation:

Prolactin released by the pituitary gland which is stimulated by the hypothalamus is responsible for the alveoli producing milk. Prolactin hormone rises when an infant suckles. Oxytocin causes small muscles around the alveoli to produce the milk via milk ducts.

Oxytocin travels with the bloodstream to the breast, where it causes contraction of the myoepithelial cells. Prolactin has an important function in maternal behavior. An increase in prolactin levels decreases sex hormone levels.

Thus, the correct answer is option C, PRL and oxytocin.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

T-cells and B-cells together make antibodies. It may take a couple days for these to start to produce after the virus is already in your system. These antibodies stick to antigens to alert the rest of the body where it is. The body then makes toxic substances to fight the virus.
