Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Hormones play important roles in initiating milk production, but once lactation is established, infant suckling becomes the primary stimulus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Infant suckling causes the posterior pituitary gland to secrete oxytocin, producing the let-down, or milk ejection, reflex, causing the milk to be delivered from the alveoli (milk-producing sacs) to the nipple.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
