•At puberty, increasing levels of estrogen stimulate the development of glandular tissue in the female breast. It also causes the breast to increase in size through the accumulation of adipose tissue.
•Progesterone stimulates the development of the duct system.
•During pregnancy, these hormones enhance further development of the mammary glands.
•Prolactin from the anterior pituitary stimulates the production of milk within the glandular tissue, and oxytocin causes the ejection of milk from the glands.
