Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxytocin is a hormone released by the pituitary gland that stimulates uterine contractions during labor. It can be administered through an intravenous drip to accelerate labor and delivery. Prolactin plays a role in milk production and luteinizing hormone plays a role in ovulation, but neither of these hormones would be used to accelerate labor and delivery. Extra fluids alone would not have an effect on labor progression.
