This document discusses the biological process of suckling in mammals. Sensory receptors in the nipple trigger a neural pathway to the hypothalamus which then releases hormones that signal the pituitary gland. The posterior pituitary secretes oxytocin which causes contraction of cells around the alveoli for milk ejection, while the anterior pituitary releases prolactin which promotes milk secretion.
