🗑
Function of Human Placental Lactogen:   instrumental in breast/ nipple/ areolar growth; before birth  
🗑
Function of Prolactin:   Increase contributes to accelerated growth of alveoli  
🗑
Function of Oxytocin:   contracts smooth mx layer of cells surrounding the alveoli to squeeze milk into ductal system  
🗑
