Neuroendocrine Mechanism Of Parturition — a labelled NEET Biology diagram with a definitions lexicon.
Neuroendocrine Mechanism of Parturition Labelled parts: Hypothalamus, Posterior Pituitary, Oxytocin, Fetal Ejection Reflex, Positive Feedback Loop, Myometrium Contraction. The process of delivering the foetus (childbirth) induced by a complex neuroendocrine mechanism. Mild uterine contractions triggered by the fully developed foetus and the placenta which stimulates the release of oxytocin. A hormone released by the posterior pituitary that acts on the uterine muscle and causes stronger uterine contractions.
