Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? Progesterone and estrogens maintain the lining of the uterus during pregnancy. Human chorionic gonadotropin stimulates the corpus luteum to secrete estrogens and progesterone. Relaxin increases flexibility of the pubic symphysis and ligaments of sacroiliac joints and dilates the cervix during labor. Human chorionic somatomammotropin helps to prepare the mammary glands for lactation and regulates metabolism of mother and fetus. Corticotrophin releasing hormone is thought to be involved in timing of birth and decreases greatly as birth approaches.
