A nurse is educating a pregnant client about the endocrine changes during pregnancy.
Which hormone is responsible for inhibiting ovulation and stimulating milk production?
hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone that is produced by the placenta and maintains the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone and estrogen. hCG does not inhibit ovulation or stimulate milk production.
Progesterone is a hormone that is produced by the corpus luteum and the placenta and supports the endometrium, prevents uterine contractions, and prepares the breasts for lactation. Progesterone does not inhibit ovulation or stimulate milk production.
Estrogen is a hormone that is produced by the corpus luteum and the placenta and stimulates uterine growth, blood flow, and breast duct development. Estrogen does not inhibit ovulation or stimulate milk production.
Prolactin is a hormone that is responsible for inhibiting ovulation and stimulating milk production during pregnancy. It is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and increases throughout pregnancy.
