Question 1 of 5
Which hormone is responsible for triggering milk ejection during breastfeeding?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Oxytocin. Oxytocin is responsible for triggering milk ejection during breastfeeding by causing the contraction of muscles around the milk-producing cells, facilitating the release of milk. Progesterone and estrogen are involved in preparing the body for pregnancy and maintaining the uterine lining, not milk ejection. Prolactin stimulates milk production but not milk ejection directly.
Therefore, the correct choice is oxytocin as it specifically triggers the release of milk during breastfeeding.
