Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contractions in labor are triggered by the pituitary gland's release of oxytocin, a hormone that stimulates the muscles of the uterus to contract. Oxycontin is a pain reliever and not involved in labor. Adrenaline and adenosine may have some effects during labor, but they do not directly trigger contractions.
