Where is prolactin released?

  1. The adrenal glands

  2. The thymus gland

  3. The liver

  4. The anterior pituitary gland into the bloodstream to the alveoli

The correct answer is: The anterior pituitary gland into the bloodstream to the alveoli

Prolactin is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland in the brain. When a baby suckles at the breast, the stimulation triggers the release of prolactin into the bloodstream. This hormone plays a crucial role in milk production by stimulating the alveoli in the breast tissue to produce milk. Therefore, the correct answer is the anterior pituitary gland, which releases prolactin into the bloodstream to reach the alveoli and promote milk production.
