Question

Which of the following helps in formation of alveoli of the mammary glands?

• A. Estrogen
• B. Prolactin
• C. Progesterone
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

• Both males and females have glandular tissue within the breasts. However, in females, the glandular tissue begins to develop after puberty in response to estrogen release.
• Mammary glands only produce milk after childbirth. During pregnancy, the hormones progesterone and prolactin are released. Hence, Estrogen, Prolactin, and Progesterone help in the formation of alveoli of the mammary glands.

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
