Laktasjon
Laktasjon refers to the physiological process by which female mammals produce milk to nourish their young. This complex process is hormonally regulated, primarily by prolactin and oxytocin.

The development of mammary glands capable of lactation, known as mammogenesis, begins during puberty and is
