Concept explainers
To review:
Match the term episiotomy with the most closely related description given below:
Begins with the onset of the true labor
Begins as the dilation of the cervix is complete
Birth
Described by quick fetal growth
Incision via the peroneal musculature
A sheet of follicular cells around the oocyte
An enzyme in the acrosome
The cytoplasm of the oocyte
Time of embryonic/early fetal development
Described by the continued development of the organ systems
Introduction:
Vaginal tears are one of the common events that occur during the labor process. It mostly occurs at the vaginal opening as the head of the full-grown baby passed through. Episiotomy is performed in order to prevent the tear of the soft tissue.
