Question

Braxton Hicks contractions occur during

• A. Passage of food through alimentary canal
• B. Peristatic movements
• C. Pregnancy
• D. Lactation

Answer 1

The correct option is C Pregnancy

Braxton Hicks contractions are the type of sporadic uterine contractions that occur in the 2nd trimester or 3rd trimester of pregnancy due to increasing size of the foetus.

Peristalsis is the process of contraction of a part of alimentary tract to allow the food to move forward.

In lactation, the myoepithelial cells are contracted to eject milk out.

So the correct option is C.
