摘要: At the end of gestation, uterus becomes increasingly contractile and reactive to excitatory agents eventually reach a state in which it forcefully expels fetus other products conception. This (labor) is achieved when contractions different regions uterine wall become stronger, more frequent, synchronous. The coordination these believed be required for normal progression parturition, absence this activity throughout pregnancy thought essential adequate nourishment developing (Csapo 1981).
