Question
Chapter 20.3, Problem 11L
Summary Introduction
To explain: The role of hormones in the birth process as well as milk production.
Introduction: The maternal body as well as the placenta generates hormones that play numerous roles during pregnancy for example, the human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) is a hormone, which is secreted by the trophoblast. During the early stages of pregnancy, the hCG hormone plays an important role in maintaining the corpus luteum and also retains the immune system from rejecting the blastocyst. Moreover, hCG simulates other essential hormones from the developing placenta.
