Answer:

involution

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "involution" refers to unfolding, receding. This word is used in physiological terms when it refers to times when a woman's organs return to their normal state after pregnancy. When a woman is pregnant, her whole body undergoes transformations, including her organs. The organs of a pregnant woman are adapted to pregnancy, undergo changes in size, function and functioning, but after pregnancy is over, these organs undergo an involutive process, where they return to their normal state, as the non-pregnant woman's body no longer needs those adaptations.
