Question

During a cesarean section, an incision is made through all EXCEPT which of the following? A)linea alba B)perimetrium C)superficial fascia D)decidua basalis

Answer 1

Decidua basalis

Step-by-step explanation:

A cesarian section is a surgery performed to deliver a baby.

During the procedure, the incisions are made in the regions of the abdomen and the uterus.

Decidua basalis is defined as the region which is a part of decidua that interacts with the trophoblast.

It is the maternal portion where implantation takes place.

During the c-section no incision is made in decidua basalis however if by mistake it gets damaged then it can lead to some discomfort and problems post delivery.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. Decidua basalis.

In a ceaserian section, an incision can be through the superficial fascia, perimetrium, and Alinea alba. An incision cannot be made through decidua basalis.
Decidua is termed as the uterine lining which during pregnancy forms part of the placenta under the influence of progesterone. Decidua basalis is part of decidua which interacts with trophoblast. Decidua basalis has three layers which include;
1. Boundary layer which is adjacent to myotrium2. Intermediate layer.
3. Compact layer.
