gynecoid
anthropoid

74
Q

mechanisms of labor are called _ movements

75
Q

what are the 6 cardinal movements

A

descent
flexion
internal rotation
extension
restitution
expulsion

76
Q

presenting part reaches pelvic inlet (engagement) before onset of labor

77
Q

fetal chin presses against chest, head meets resistance from pelvic floor

78
Q

fetal shoulders internally rotate 45 degrees, widest part of shoulders in line w. widest part of pelvic inlet

A

internal rotation

79
Q

fetal head passes under symphysis pubis and emerges from vagina

80
Q

head externally rotates as shoulders pass thru pelvic outlet under symphysis pubis and turns to align with back

A

restitution

81
Q

anterior shouler slips under symphysis pubis, followed by posterior shoulder and rest of body - marks end of second stage of labor

82
