begins. The baby’s head is pushed downwards‚ resulting in an increased pressure on the cervix. This stimulates receptor cells to send a chemical signal to the brain‚ allowing the release of oxytocin.

autonomic functions in the brain as well as hormone release is controlled by the hypothalamus. Alcohol acts by depressing the nerve centers in the hypothalamus which control sexual performance and arousal. As the level of alcohol increases‚ the level of sexual desires increases‚ but performance decreases. Alcohol also affects the pituitary gland by inhibiting the secretions of the Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)‚ which also effects urine excretion.

According to Model 3‚ the stimulus during childbirth is the baby pushing against the cervix and the response to this is the hypothalamus releasing oxytocin. 15. The hormone that increases the intensity of contractors when released from the hypothalamus is the oxytocin. 16. When the intensity of contractions increases‚ the stimulus will decrease because it is trying to maintain a normal
