Which of these is not an important component of initiation of parturition in humans?

  1. Release of Prolactin
  2. Increase in estrogen and progesterone ratio
  3. Synthesis of prostaglandins
  4. Release of Oxytocin

Answer

(1) Release of Prolactin

Solution

As per NCERT, parturition is induced by a complex neuroendocrine mechanism.

⇒ Signals from the fully developed foetus and the placenta (rise in the estrogen : progesterone ratio, prostaglandins) cause mild uterine contractions — the foetal ejection reflex.

⇒ This triggers the release of oxytocin from the maternal pituitary, which causes stronger uterine contractions and expulsion of the baby.

∴ Prolactin is concerned with milk production (lactation), not with initiation of parturition.
