Hailey Auve E-Portfolio - BIOL 1050- Anatomy and Physiology of Obstetrics

COURSE PURPOSE & OVERVIEW

The purpose of this course is to give midwives a basic knowledge of obstetrical anatomy and physiology in the areas of reproductive organs, pelvis, fetal skull, fetopelvic relationships, pelvic musculature, hormonal cycles, fetal circulation, and human development. This knowledge is a foundation from which are formed many other concepts and understandings, e.g. infertility, facilitating 2nd stage, suturing, newborn heart problems, etc. This course includes basic anatomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, pelvis, fetal skull, fetopelvic relationships, pelvic musculature, hormonal cycles, fetal circulation and human development.
