Now that we’re in endocrine, we’ve been talking about prolactin and other hormones that cause milk release, or, as the professor calls it, “milk letdown.”

My classmate Peter loved the phrase, just with a different definition: Milk letdown. When you have milk, you expect it to be really good, and it’s just okay.

Another interesting fact: the name galaxy (ex: our Milky Way) comes from the root galac- , which means milk. See picture below.
