Milk Ejection Reflex 0
The Milk Ejection Reflex, also known as the let-down reflex, is a physiological response where the hormone oxytocin causes the milk ducts in the breast to contract, allowing milk to be ejected from the alveoli into the ducts. This reflex is crucial for breastfeeding, as it facilitates the flow of milk from the mother to the infant during nursing.
