Foetral ejection reflex in human female is induced by

Options

(a) release oxytocin from pituitary
(b) fully developed foetus and placenta
(c) differentiation of mammary glands
(d) pressure exerted by amniotic fluid

Correct Answer:

fully developed foetus and placenta

Explanation:

Foetal ejection reflex in human female is induced by fully developed foetus and placenta. When a woman is in a lithotomy or semi-sitting position, the Foetal Ejection Reflux is impaired and the increased pain caused by the sacrum’s inability to move as teh baby descends can be intolerable.
