Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Involution is the process by which the uterus returns to its prepregnant size. During this process, the uterus sheds the leftover placental tissue, and the cervix closes. The levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease rather than rise steeply as they do during pregnancy. The placenta and umbilical cord are expelled during the third stage of labor, not during involution.
