Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxytocin release is an example of a positive feedback control mechanism, where its release stimulates further release. It plays a role in several reproductive functions, including uterine contractions during childbirth and milk ejection during nursing, but does not control milk production. It is not an anterior pituitary secretion.
