Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxytocin is responsible for stimulating the contraction of smooth muscle in the wall of the uterus during labor and delivery, as well as for the release of milk from the breast during breastfeeding. ADH (antidiuretic hormone) regulates water balance in the body, while prolactin promotes milk production in the breast. Growth hormone promotes growth and development in children and helps regulate metabolism in adults.
