Uterine myocyte synchronization and coordination during labor contractions are driven by a mechanoreceptor feedback mechanism responding to stretching.

Abstract

The article summarized the results of many years studying of synchronization and coordination of uterine myocytes contractile activity during physiological labor contractions. The authors suggest that the physiological basis for these processes is the mechanoreceptor mechanism of feedback for the stretching which is one of the fundamental mechanisms for control contractile activity of uterine myocytes during parturition.
