What is the hormone that is secreted by the pituitary gland that stimulates uterine contractions?

The hormone that stimulates contractions of the uterus in mammals is oxytocin. However, the story is probably rather more complex. In mice, for example, that had no cell membrane receptors for oxytocin, birth took place as usual. Oxytocin has a short peptide molecule consisting of just nine amino acids.

What does shooting pain in breasts mean when pregnant?

Probably has to do with the increase in glandular tissue, which compresses the blood vessels, leading to the shooting pain. During pregnancy the breasts are getting ready to produce milk, therefore increase is size, and activate the glands (this process is due to the hormone prolactin, released by the hypothalamus). It is nothing to worry about, and is quite common in pregnancy, and during the menstrual period.

What is the main link between the nervous system and endocrine system?

ganglionAnswerThe most straight-forward answer would be the hypothalamus, because in simple terms, the hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland and the pituitary gland is the "master gland" of the endocrine system. But you could probably have a nice long discussion about what exactly counts as a link between the nervous and endocrine systems. Is it a functional link? A structural one? Does the question force the answerer to draw an arbitrary line dividing organs of the nervous and endocrine systems?

Can swallowing semen boost testosterone levels?

No, the other way around. Higher testosterone levels will increase sperm. A differing view is that testosterone is absorbed by some soft tissues in the body. it is a fact that women do get a boost in Testosterone from semen during sex, They also pick up testosterone from deep (french) kissing a man. So if that is so & it is, Semen in the mouth will allow for the absorption of Testosterone. Swallowing, probably not, the acid in the stomach will break down the Testosterone.


Can you get a pituitary Gland transplant?

Yes, the pituitary gland can be removed. You would have to take replacement hormones to make up for the loss of hormones the pituitary gland would make though. The pituitary is made up of two parts: anterior and posterior. The anterior consists of these hormones: growth hormones, thyroid stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, and follicle stimulating hormone. The posterior consists of antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin.


What is secreted by the anterior pituitary to stimulate sperm cell production?

It is probably Follicle stimulating hormone.
