=====Parturition=====
During Stage 2 of parturition, the foetus engages the cervix. This initiates a neuroendocrine reflex, ''The Fergusson reflex''. This is an example of a [[Positive Feedback - Anatomy & Physiology|positive feedback mechanism]] which occurs when stretch receptors in the [[Female Reproductive Tract -The Cervix - Anatomy & Physiology|cervix]] are stimulated.
