Physical Basis of Monitoring Uterine Contractions

摘要: The uterus is formed essentially by smooth muscle. Collagen and elastic fibers, in nonhomogeneous distribution, give support to shape this hollow viscus. As a smooth-muscle organ, the functions different manner from other organs nonstriated muscle: it does not have intrinsic ganglia known influence its contractility. However, recent years nerve endings been identified very close muscle cell membranes. Thus, action seem obviously influenced stimuli; nevertheless possesses unique quality of automaticity that allows function satisfactorily even when completely denervated. gross anatomy human uterus, either nonpregnant or pregnant, looks simple because appears as primitive structure without identifiable layers. It seems be constituted mesh net involving spiral insertion fallopian tubes downward.
