During the final stages of human gestation, receptors for the hormone oxytocin increase on the smooth muscle cells of the uterus
. The release of the oxytocin during labor stimulates the smooth muscle tissue in the wall of the uterus. The vigorous contraction of the uterine smooth muscle helps push the baby through the birth canal so that delivery can occur. This process involves the interaction of which organ system?.
The process of child birth involves the interaction of endocrine, muscular, and reproductive organ systems.
The endocrine is responsible for the production of chemical messengers in the body. These chemical messengers are called hormones. They are produced in endocrine glands and are transported to their target organs in the blood stream.
The muscular system controls the contraction and relaxation of all the muscles in the body.
