Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Progesterone is responsible for relaxing the myometrium during pregnancy, preventing contractions that could lead to premature labor. It also inhibits lactation until after the birth of the baby.

Answer: D
 Estrogen also plays a role in preparing the uterus for pregnancy by promoting growth and vascularization of the endometrium. It is also responsible for the development of breast tissue, which is necessary for lactation after childbirth. However, it does not have a direct effect on the myometrium or lactation inhibition.
