a). Calcium ion and ATP

Explanation:

The excitation and contraction of the muscles takes place by Action potential  creation.

The muscle contraction is initiated when calcium ions binds to troponin. The binding of calcium with protein complex troponin changes the configuraton to  make actin sites active for ATP binding. This binding causes myosin to reach the state of high energy ( excitation), in which myosin head gets detach from the active site.

Relaxin

<span>Relaxin, secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary as well as the placenta, is responsible for helping to inhibit uterine activity and to soften the cervix and the collagen in joints. Softening of the cervix allows for dilatation at birth; softening of collagen allows for laxness in the lower spine and so helps enlarge the birth canal. The effect of estrogen is to cause breast and uterine enlargement. Progesterone has a major role in maintaining the endometrium, inhibiting uterine contractility, and aiding in the development of the breasts for lactation. Human placental lactogen (hPL), also known as human chorionic somatomammotropin, serves as an antagonist to insulin, making insulin less effective, thereby allowing more glucose to become available for fetal growth.</span>
