“…As for oxytocin, it would appear that its primary action on uterine muscle is the lowering of the membrane potential (Jung, 1957) which is followed by a series of tetanic action potentials accompanied by mechanical contractions. The latent period before these discharges occur depends on the hormone concentration.…”
