More Information
Gynecoid pelvis, shaped round and wide, facilitates childbirth. Oxytocin, often called the 'love hormone,' is important for bonding as well as labor.
Tips
For medical terms, ensure definitions are precise. Misunderstanding key terms like 'nullipara' can lead to incorrect diagnosis or treatment.
