Pregnancy is a state of having implanted products of conception located either in the uterus or
elsewhere in the body. It ends through either spontaneous or elective abortion or delivery. During
this time, the mothers body goes through immense changes involving all organ system to sustain
the growing fetus.
Pregnancy lasts for about 280 days or 40 weeks. A preterm or premature baby is delivered before
37 weeks of pregnancy. Extremely preterm infants are born through 23 weeks. Moderately
preterm infants are born between 29 and 33 weeks.
When women get into labor without the aid of any labor inducing drugs or methods, and is able
to deliver the baby without requiring a doctor’s aid through cesarean section, vacuum extraction,
or with forceps, this is known as a normal spontaneous vaginal delivery [NSVD].
A full-term newborn is one that been delivered between 27 and 42 weeks of gestation. It’s the
easiest way to give birth when compared to other techniques like cesarean section and artificial
labor. A vaginal delivery occurs when the baby comes out of the mother naturally, without any
medical procedures or surgery involved. This happens following the labor that a pregnant lady
experiences.
V. Physiology [Parturition]
TRUE CONTRACTION
The external genitalia are the accessory structures of the female reproductive system that
are external to the vagina. They are also referred as the vulva or pudendum. The external
genitalia include the followings;
Mons pubis
A rounded mound of fatty tissue that covers the pubic bone. During the puberty, it
becomes covered with hair. The mons pubis contains oil-secreting [sebaceous] glands that
release substances that are involve in sexual attraction[pheromones].
Clitoris
The clitoris is a bulb-shaped sexual organ that’s part of the female reproductive system. It
is also known as the pleasure center of the female reproductive organ. The clitoris is found at the
top of the vulva at the point where the inner labia meet.
Labia minora
A paired folds of smooth tissue underlying the labia majora. They range from light pink to
brownish black in color in different individuals. In a sexual stimulated condition, these tissue
covers the vaginal and urethral openings, but upon sexual arousal they become more open.
Protect the vaginal and urethral openings from mechanical irritation, dryness and
infections.
Labia majora
Are two thick folds of skin running from the mons pubis to the anus. The word labia
majora also defined as the ‘larger lip’. The anterior part of the labia majora folds comes together
to form the anterior labial commissure directly beneath the mons pubis. While the posterior part
of the labia majora comes together to form the posterior labial commissure. The labia majora
engorges with blood and appears edematous during sexual arousal.
Urethral opening
The female urethra is embedded within the vaginal wall, and its opening is situated
between the labia. The female urethra is shorter than the male, being only 4cm long it begins at
the bladder neck and opens to the outside just after passing through the urethral sphincter.
Excretion of urine.
Transport tube that leads from the bladder to discharge urine outside the body.
Anus
Anus is the external opening of the rectum, located inside the intergluteal cleft and
separated from the genitals by the perineum. Anus is also the end of the digestive tract where
below contents leave the body.
The vagina
The vagina is a muscular, ridged sheath connecting the external genitals to the uterus,
where the embryo grows into a fetus during pregnancy. In the reproductive process, the vaginal
function as a two-street, accepting the penis and sperm during intercourse and roughly nine
months later, serving as the avenue of the birth through which the new baby enters the world.
It’s the route in which menstrual blood leaves the body during periods.
It’s the pathway or the birth canal through which a baby leaves a woman’s body during
childbirth.
Where the penis is inserted during intercourse.
The cervix
Female cervix is a muscular, tunnel-like organ. It’s the lower part of the uterus, and it
connects the uterus to the vagina. Sometimes called ‘neck of the uterus.’
Allowing fluids to pass between the uterus and vagina.
Producing cervical mucus during the most fertile phase of the menstrual cycle, which
helps the sperm travel from the vagina to the uterus.
Opening during labor to allow the baby to pass through the birth canal.
The uterus
Uterus is a pear-shaped organ in the reproductive system of people assigned female at birth
[AFAB]. It’s where a fertilized egg implants during pregnancy and where your baby develops
until birth.
Pregnancy; female uterus stretches to grow the baby during pregnancy. It also contracts
to help push your baby out of the vagina.
Fertility; uterus is where a fertilized egg implants during conception and where the baby
grows
Menstrual cycle; uterine lining is where blood and tissue come from during menstruation.
The fallopian tube or oviducts are two very fine tubes leading from the ovaries of female
into the uterus.
On maturity of an ovum, the follicle and the ovaries wall rapture, allowing the ovum to
escape and enter the fallopian tube. There it travels toward the uterus, pushed along by
movements of cilia on the inner lining of the tubes. This trip takes hours or days. If the ovum is
fertilized while in the fallopian tube, then it normally implants in the endometrium when it
reaches the uterus, which signals the beginning of pregnancy.
The ovaries
The ovaries are the place inside the female body where ova or eggs are produced. The
process by which the ovum is released is called ovulation. The speed of ovulation is periodic and
impacts directly to the length of a menstrual cycle.
After ovulation, the is captured by the oviduct, where it travelled down the oviduct to the
uterus, occasionally being fertilized on its way by an incoming sperm leading to pregnancy and
the eventual birth of a new human being.
The fallopian tube is often called the oviducts and they have small hairs [cilia] to help the
egg travel.
