검증된 단계별 안내1
Identify the function of each hormone listed in the problem to understand their roles in the body.
Recall that Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) primarily regulates reproductive processes such as the development of ovarian follicles and sperm production.
Understand that Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism.
Recognize that Oxytocin, although involved in lactation, mainly triggers milk ejection (let-down reflex) rather than milk production itself.
Conclude that Prolactin (PRL), secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, is the hormone primarily responsible for stimulating milk production (lactation) in the mammary glands.
