Question

why Oxytocin released???​

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxytocin is released in response to activation of sensory nerves during labor, breastfeeding and sexual activity. In addition oxytocin is released in response to low intensity stimulation of the skin, e.g., in response to touch, stroking, warm temperature, etc.

Answer 2

Oxytocin is a hormone secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, a pea-sized structure at the base of the brain. It is sometimes known as the "cuddle hormone" or the "love hormone," because it is released when people snuggle up or bond socially, according to Texas Medical Center.
