2. Statement 1:
The Study of the female reproductive system is the
medical specialty of gynecology.
Gynecology specifically covers all things related to the
ovaries, uterus, and vagina.
3. Statement 3
The three stages of labor and delivery are:
Stage I, Dilation
The uterine muscles contract to push the baby down to the cervix.
This pressure makes the cervix expand or dilate to 10 centimeters.
Stage II, Expulsion
Once dilation is complete, the baby’s head begins to crown (if breech it
will be the baby’s buttocks) and pushing can begin until the baby is
fully delivered.
Stage III, Placenta
After the baby is delivered, the uterus will continue to contract until
the placenta and/or afterbirth is out.
4. Statement 10:
One of the longest terms used in medical terminology and
refers to the removal of the uterus, cervix, ovaries, and
uterine tubes is:
TOTAL ABDOMINAL HYSTERECTOMY/BILATERAL
SALPINGO/OOPHRECTOMY which breaks down as follows:
Abdominal = pertaining to the abdomen
Hysterectomy = surgical removal of the uterus
Bilateral Salpingo = pertaining to two (both) sides uterine tube
and ovary surgically removed
