What hormone initiates Ductal System development in the breast during menstruation?

  1. Estrogen

  2. Progesterone

  3. Prolactin

  4. Oxytocin

The correct answer is: Progesterone

During menstruation, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body decrease. While estrogen is important for the development of the milk ducts, it is progesterone that triggers the growth of the ductal system. Prolactin and oxytocin are both hormones involved in milk production and letdown, respectively, but are not directly responsible for the development of the ductal system. Therefore, the correct hormone that initiates Ductal System development in the breast during menstruation is progesterone.
