Answer: option C) enables the "let-down" reflex to occur when a woman breastfeeds her baby.

Explanation:

Oxytocin is a hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland. It stimulates the contractions of smooth muscles such as

- uterus facilitating childbirth

- ducts of the mammary glands resulting in ejection of milk. Thus, it is also called as milk-let-down-ejection factor.

So, option C is the correct answer

Answer: C). enables the "let-down" reflex to occur when a woman breastfeeds her baby.

Explanation: Oxytocin is a hormone which has two main functions in females. Oxytocin plays a vital role in labour by increasing uterine movement, and causes contraction of the uterine muscles. It triggers the ejection of milk (let down effect) from the mammary gland by stimulating the contraction of the muscles surrounding the breast. It is secreted by the posterior pituitary gland.

How might a mutation in either a hormone or its receptor affect the physiological system that it normally regulates?
ra1l [238]

A mutation in either a hormone or its receptor might affect the physiological system that it normally regulates by either blocking hormone effect or creating a completely different effect.

Hormones can be called chemical messengers which coordinate distinct functions in the body. Many glands, organs and tissues produce and release hormones, many of which constitute the endocrine system.

A hormone will only act on a part of the body if it fits i.e. if the cells in the target tissue have receptors which can receive the message of the hormone. Given that hormones carry instructions in their structure, mutations alter their structures by changing nucleic acid sequences which blocks hormone function.
