Foetal ejection reflex in human female is induced by
release oxytocin from pituitary
fully developed foetus and placenta
differentiation of mammary glands
pressure exerted by amniotic fluid
As we discussed in concept
Foetal ejection reflex. -
The signals for parturition originate from the fully developed foetus and the placenta which induce mild uterine contractions called foetal ejection reflex.
- wherein
This triggers release of oxytocin from the maternal pituitary. Oxytocin acts on the uterine muscle and causes stronger uterine contractions, which in turn stimulates further secretion of oxytocin.

Option 2)
fully developed foetus and placenta
This option is correct.
Option 3)
differentiation of mammary glands
This option is incorrect.
Option 4)
pressure exerted by amniotic fluid
