Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fetal brain is responsible for releasing hormones that initiate the process of labor and delivery. These hormones trigger a series of events that prepare the fetus for birth, such as the release of surfactant to help with breathing, the shift in blood flow from the placenta to the lungs, and the onset of contractions. The maternal brain and placenta also play important roles in the process of labor, but they are not the primary initiators. The germinal period is the very early stage of development, and is not relevant to the process of labor and delivery.
