Labor is a physiological event involving a sequential, integrated set of changes within the myometrium, deciduas, and uterine cervix that occur gradually over a period of days to weeks. Biochemical connective tissue changes in the uterine cervix appear to precede uterine contractions and cervical dilation, and all of these events usually occur before rupture of the fetal membranes. In other wor...

abstract the nature and origin of human behaviors, as the main factors in the development of body and soul, have been studied and analyzed from different perspectives, including philosophy, psychology and physiology. in religious teachings, human behaviors are addressed through being classified into active and stative and also conscious and non-conscious behaviors and their effects on the life ...

Selection clearly focuses on differences in reproduction, but studies of reproductive physiology generally have been carried out in a near vacuum of modern evolutionary theory. This lack of contact between the two fields may be about to change. New ideas indicate that sexual selection by cryptic female choice has affected the evolution of products in male semen that influence female reproductiv...
