Q

Function - fetal synthesis of cortiocosteroids
- decreases myometiral activity (quiets uterus) and constricts myometiral blood vessels,
-inhibits prolactin
-aveolar system development contributin to mammary growth
-suppresses mom’s immune response to fetal antigens,
-relaxees smooth muscle in GI and Urinary tracts
