Extract
The efficacy of labour is determined by uterine, fetopelvic and cervical factors. Whereas the first two of these are well recognized, acknowledgement of the modulating function of the cervix during labour is relatively new. In particular, clarification of the synthesis and metabolism of prostaglandins has contributed considerably to our understanding of the biological control of the cervix.
