Document Summary
Prf prolactin breast: prolactin and gh are controlled by both releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones, this is kind of like a gas pedal and a brake, these hormones are made by both males and females. The milk in the lumen waits for a biological signal to be released. Lactation is inhibiting during pregnancy: placenta/fetus produces high amounts of estrogen and progesterone. These hormones will act on the hypothalamus to produce pih. Oxytocin is responsible for the release, while prolactin is stimulating production: oxytocin is stimulated by suckling, crying babies, as well as thinking of babies. It also gives us feelings about our mothers, makes us a little more reckless. Sry is highly conserved on the y chromosome. Biological sex and gender are very different, there"s (cid:374)o true defi(cid:374)itio(cid:374) for ge(cid:374)der. 6 weeks after fertilization there is a bipotential primordium: b(cid:455) te(cid:374) (cid:449)eeks, there"s a defi(cid:374)ite se(cid:454) In the absence of sry protein ovaries are produced.
