Question

Foetal ejection reflex in human female is induced by:

A

pressure exerted by amniotic fluid

B

release of oxytocin from pituitary

C

fully developed foetus and placenta

D

differentiation of mammary glands

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the sources, the process of parturition (childbirth) is induced by a complex neuroendocrine mechanism . The initial signals that trigger the foetal ejection reflex originate from both the fully developed foetus and the placenta . These signals cause mild uterine contractions, which subsequently stimulate the maternal pituitary gland to release oxytocin to further strengthen the contractions for delivery .

Exam Context & Concepts Covered
