Detailed Solution

Hormones secreted by the placenta to maintain pregnancy are hCG, hPL, progestogens, estrogens.

Prolactin is secreted by adenohypophyses. It stimulates milk secretion.

Oxytocin is secreted by neurohypophyses. It is required for parturition; not for the maintenance of pregnancy.

Glucocorticoids are secreted by adrenal gland. Cortisol also plays a role in parturition.
