Feedback:
Hormones (prolactin and oxytocin) stimulate mammary glands to produce and release milk after childbirth. The ovaries begin to secrete estrogens. The estrogens include estradiol, estriol, and estrone. After puberty, the corpus luteum of the ovary produces another hormone, progesterone, which functions primarily during pregnancy.
