To review:
Match the term parturition 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:
Parturition is defined as the expulsion of fetus, by a compulsive force from the uterus through the vaginal passage. It marks the end of the gestation period by one or multiple babies exiting the reproductive system of the woman through either C-section or vaginal passage.
