Oxytocin is released into the bloodstream as a hormone in response to stretching of the cervix and uterus during labor and with stimulation of the nipples from breastfeeding. This helps with birth, bonding with the baby, and milk production. Oxytocin was discovered by Henry Dale in 1906.
Oxytocin causes smooth muscle contraction associated with the uterus. Utâ¦erine contraction in turn causes the release of more Oxytocin from the pituitary, which causes more contraction. this represents a positive feedback loop of increasing amounts of Oxytocin and uterine contraction. Contractions of the uterus of course result in the movement of the fetus out of the birth canal (leaving the uterus, passing through the cervix, and out through the vaginal opening.
