Biomechanics of cervical function in pregnancy : case of cervical insufficiency
The uterine cervix is a passive organ in the female body. Its normal function in pregnancy is to stay firm and closed for the duration of the gestation. At term, under the action of coordinated contractions from the myometrium the cervix dilates sufficiently to allow for the delivery of the fetus. …
