Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the hormones listed and their primary functions related to the breast and reproduction.
Understand that Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) primarily regulates water balance in the body, not milk production.
Recognize that Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is involved in the regulation of the reproductive cycle, particularly in the ovaries and testes, but does not regulate milk production.
Recall that Prolactin (PRL) is the hormone responsible for stimulating milk production in the mammary glands after childbirth.
Note that Oxytocin is involved in milk ejection (let-down reflex) but does not regulate the production of milk itself.
