I'm sharing this info because I love to understand the physiology of our bodies, and this process in particular. Maybe someone else will enjoy it too
This has been condensed into a more reader friendly format by a retired Registered Nurse friend with over 20 years nursing experience:
This is intended as a hands on fun physical exploration which you may also enjoy so feel free to take out your breasts whist reading this as what better way to show than by actually exploring and identifying your basic anatomy as you feel around your own wonderful breasts.
Your breasts are secretory organs, each breast irrespective of bra size, comprising a bunch of around only 20 milk ducts ampullae & deeper alveoli supported by fat and connective tissue and a base muscle layer called the Suspensory Ligament against the chest wall . If you gently feel your breast just behind your areola, that is the round area of soft tissue circling the nipple you can feel the underlying ampullae or lobes as small hard grape like nodules radiating right around the areola and the ducts from the alveoli to the lobes and from the lobes to the nipple as very fine threads terminating at your nipple. You can actually see the ends of the ducts as tiny white dimples on your nipples, this is where the milk comes out. Whilst we are here the tiny bumps you see on your areola are quite normal and are called Montgomery's Tubercles, they are tiny glands there to lubricate the nipple during suckling, That is why you sometimes see tiny droplets of clear or cloudy liquid on them. This is not milk it is just a special oily fluid secreted in response to stimulation.
Your breast physiological functions are controlled by a combination of stimulatory actions on the nervous system and the endocrine or hormone system, the breasts are normally dormant, except of course when pregnant. I am not going to talk about pregnancy and lactation as this is slightly different physiology and not necessary in a lactation inducing group. When we induce we are asking our breasts to awake and respond to stimulation which makes our bodies assume we have been pregnant and need to produce milk to feed our offspring.
In order to produce milk the main hormones of the endocrine system involved are Prolactin and Oxytocin. Prolactin is an interesting hormone which is released by the Anterior Pituitary gland, this is a small gland found just under the fore brain between the optic nerves in both women and in men, because it is present in both genders it is termed non gender specific and explains why it is possible for Transexual women to induce with hormonal assistance as successfully as biological Women. Prolactin is released in response to direct mechanical stimulation of the nipple as in suckling or by using a Breast pump or by Marmet technique massage. This stimulation sends nervous signals to the Anterior Pituitary gland to tell the gland to produce Prolactin. Incidentally, This gland has an inbuilt timer which is set to switch off after 20 minutes of constant stimulation and not to come on again for approx 2 hours. This is why it is not advisable to suckle, massage or pump for prolonged periods. Taking Domperidone our favorite inducing medication or Galactagogue of choice results in a massive increase, up to around 1500 times more than normal in the amount of Prolactin produced and released by the Gland.
Prolactin has a direct effect on the lactiferous lobes, it tells them to make milk from the blood which flows through the breasts. You can actually feel the physical effects of Prolactin being released. Just massage your favorite nipple using the Marmet technique, Massage quickly, after around 45 seconds you will start to feel a feint tingling or growing feeling of excitement and enlargement in the opposite breast, this is the Prolactin acting on your lactiferous alveoli and causing them to engorge with blood and produce milk. The other Hormone involved is Oxytocin, the silent sex hormone. Another non gender specific hormone from that magic Anterior Pituitary gland. You will be no doubt excited to learn that Oxytocin is released in response to suckling too, it has an effect on the smooth muscle lining the vagina and the milk ducts, causing them to contract. You can feel its effect by just stroking your fingers gently over your breasts towards your areola and nipples, Can you feel the response ? it is a tingling or even a gorgeous subtle orgasmic feeling as the underlying nerves cause the tiny muscles in the ducts to contract, it is also released during orgasm which also explains the mystery of why we often find lactating such a sexually exciting experience. Oxytocin release from suckling causes the alveoli to contract and expel any milk collected in the alveoli. This is called the milk ejection reflex which some women who have successfully induced may have experienced.
Have fun exploring if you feel inclined

I am pumping this morning for the first time in a while and my breasts are very warm and tingly. It is a similar sensation to what let down feels like when milk is in. Yesterday, and the day before, I was more stressed than I am now, and my mindset was not completely there as I expressed. This morning after a good night's sleep, I am feeling rejuvenated and pumping feels exceptionally good.
Even though my motivation lacked over the last few days, I never stopped expressing. I cannot stop at this point in time: I have come too far. The need is strong, and I am trying to be patient. I know that it could still be a few months from now and it will be worth it. I haven't worked this hard for something in a long time and it feels good to have such a goal to reach.
I have been asked the same question over and over again: when people ask how my partner is enjoying the process of inducing and I say that I do not have one, people are curious as to why I am inducing at all.
Well, just because I don't have a partner to enjoy it with right now doesn't mean that I am not enjoying it myself. I am not going through this process for someone else; It is only for me. One of the perks is that it can be shared but it most certainly is not exclusive to be had with another individual. This process is for me and only me. Whether that baffles some, or seems unobtainable, this is what I am doing and I really don't care about anyone else's opinion. I am enjoying every sensation, every pump session, every new indicator that I am getting closer to my goal. All of that is for me. I hope to be able to share it with someone else eventually, but for now I am enjoying it on my own.

I had wondered about a partner, and it's none of my business but I'm glad you clarified nonetheless. Rarely (as a woman) do I see a post about someone doing something just because they want to do this - for themselves. I honor that.
I look for your posts sally and thank you for sharing it. For some reason, maybe because I'm not a mom and have never nursed (but am happy to role play it now and then) is the reason it fascinates me.
Thank you

Oh I don't mind that people ask at all, never hesitate
I wouldn't have documented my journey this far if I didn't want people reacting or asking questions. It is all encouraging to continue. It would certainly be more fun, and less effort on my part to have a partner, but currently that is not going to work out - especially while quarantined Hopefully that can all change soon.supersonicsam

Dang, I can't believe I missed the picture. I'm sure it would have been HOT!
Hopefully, there is a follow up someday

This morning on a search for a good video on hand expressing, I came across this wonderful video. I admit, I got sucked into an internet search for all of the videos by this woman because she fascinates me. A raw chef as her day job, she posts recipes using breast milk on this website, and also gives a great hand expressing tutorial before making homemade butterscotch 
I want to be friends with her!

I've been able to hand express all day today and it has been really nice not being hooked up to anything for a change. I noticed cramping during my last expression. My breasts also feel nice and handled... used might be a better word for it.
Remember the butterscotch pudding video? I found her website I knew she had to have one of her own. She is a very interesting woman. There is also a lot of good health information and many recipes that are great for lactating.
