पर्याय

Answer 1

The fully developed foetus gives signals for uterine contractions by secreting ACTH and corticosteroids hormones.

Explanation:

• The fully grown foetus begins parturition (childbirth) at the conclusion of the pregnancy.
• The fetus’s ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) stimulates the foetal adrenal gland to release corticosteroids.
• Oxytocin acts later in the process, but these hormones help set off a chain reaction in the mother that results in uterine contractions.
