Question

Which hormone is called ‘birth hormone’?

Answer 1

Birth Hormone:

1. The birth hormone is a chemical messenger which regulates the important aspects of the reproductive system, such as childbirth and lactation, as well as human behavior.
2. The oxytocin hormone is known as the ‘birth hormone’ because it increases the contraction of the uterus during childbirth by acting on the smooth muscles of the pregnant mother.
3. It also helps females discharge milk from their mammary glands.
