TestHub · Accepted Answer

Oxytocin is known as a birth hormone as it brings about uterine contraction and also ejection of milk. Prolactin is responsible for lactation after childbirth. This hormone is secreted by anterior pituitary. Luteinizing hormone is a gonadotropin secreted by anterior pituitary and it is the main hormone responsible for ovulation. Progesterone and estrogen are responsible for maintaining the endometrium and hence prepares the uterus for implantation.
