GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Prolactin is synthesized by lactotrophs in the anterior pituitary gland. The number of lactotrophs will increase during pregnancy in response to the physiological need to develop breast tissues and to prepare for milk production.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prolactin is a hormone produced by your pituitary gland which sits at the bottom of the brain. Prolactin causes breasts to grow and develop and causes milk to be made after a baby is born. Normally, both men and women have small amounts of prolactin in their blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, the pituitary gland produces prolactin, which acts on the mammary glands in the breasts to induce milk production. The pituitary gland also secretes hormones that act on the adrenal glands, thyroid gland, ovaries and testes, which in turn produce other hormones.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Luteinising hormone (LH) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Prolactin (PRL) Growth hormone (GH) Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH)

Detailed explanation-5: -Human growth hormone (HGH or GH) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Adrenocorticotrophin hormone (ATCH) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) luteinizing hormone (LH) prolactin.
