Imaging the dynamics of uterine contractions in early pregnancy

2023-12-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The myometrium or smooth muscle of the uterus contracts throughout the life of the organ. Uterine muscle contractility is essential for reproductive processes including sperm and embryo transport, and during the uterine cycle to remove menstrual effluent or estrus debris. Even still, uterine contractions have primarily only been studied in the context of preterm labor. This is partly due to a la...
