Factors responsible 58 for initiating the process of parturition include 1) an increase in the number of gap 59 junctions which allows cell coupling and interactions, 2) decreased production of nitric 60 oxide thereby inhibiting uterine relaxation, and 3) stretch of the myometrium which 61 enhances contractility.2 62 Ecbolic agents (oxytocics) 63 Ecbolic agents or oxytocics are compounds that hasten uterine evacuation by 64 stimulating uterine contractions of the myometrium.	cache/ct-12583.pdf	txt/ct-12583.txt
