ADH
What organ causes uterine contractions?
Oxytocin causes the uterus to contract. Oxytocin is released by the posterior pituitary gland.
What causes lactation in females?
Oxytocin
What is the hormone that causes milk letdown?
oxytocin
What causes the muscles of the uterus to contract?
Oxytocin.
How does the oxytocin causes increase in fruit size?
Oxytocin does not directly cause an increase in fruit size. Oxytocin is a hormone involved in social bonding and reproductive functions in animals. Fruit size is primarily influenced by genetic factors, growing conditions (such as sunlight, nutrients, water), and other physiological processes within the plant.
Which hormone causes the kidneys to conserve water?
ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone)The brain and kidneys regulate the amount of water excreted by the body. When the blood volume is low, the concentration of solutes in the blood is high. When the hypothalamus senses this low blood volume and increased serum osmolality it synthesizes ADH, a small peptide molecule. The pituitary gland then releases ADH into the bloodstream and causes the kidneys to retain water by concentrating the urine and reducing urine volume. Water retention boosts blood volume and decreases serum osmolality.
What is the hormone that causes ejection of milk?
prolactin - anterior pituitary gland oxytocin - posterior pituitary gland
What hormones are regulated by positive feedback under certain circumstances?
Oxytocin in the process of giving birth. Oxytocin causes uterine contraction, which causes the baby to push up against the cervix, which causes more oxytocin to be released. And the cycle continues until the baby is born.
What causes muscles of the uterus to contract during childbirth?
Oxitosin is the hormone. It is secreted by pituitary.
What is oxytocin and what role does it play in human reproduction?
Oxytocin is a hormone released by the pituitary gland. It causes increased contraction of the uterus during labor. Next time, actually do your bio homework though (;
Which chemical causes contractions in the human body?
Oxytocin is the primary chemical that causes contractions in the human body, specifically in the uterus during labor and also in the mammary glands during breastfeeding. Additionally, prostaglandins are also involved in stimulating contractions in various smooth muscles, including those in the uterus.
