Reproductive Health
Foetal ejection reflex in human female is induced by
the pressure exerted by the amniotic fluid
the release of oxytocin from pituitary
fully developed foetus and placenta
differentiation of mammary glands
B.
the release of oxytocin from pituitary
Oxytocin (childbirth hormone) secreted by neurohypophysis of pituitary gland stimulates contraction of uterus muscles, including labour pain for child birth, when secretion of progesterone hormone declines, making the end of pregnancy. As the sensory impulse of increasing labour pain reaches hypothalamus, more and more oxytocin is released from posterior pituitary under a positive feedback regulation childbirth, it dilates the cervix (vaginal stretching).
