Question

2. Under the effect of that
hormone, which organ of the
female reproductive system
starts to contract and thereby
birth process (Parturition) is
facilitated?​

Answer 1

$\huge\mathcal{Answer:}$

During birth, oxytocin in the mother is released explosively in pulses, causing contraction of the uterus and aiding delivery of the baby. The density of oxytocin receptors increases as much as 200-fold as parturition approaches, which markedly increases the sensitivity of the uterus to oxytocin.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The two main actions of oxytocin in the body are contraction of the womb (uterus) during childbirth and lactation. Oxytocin stimulates the uterine muscles to contract and also increases production of prostaglandins, which increase the contractions further.
