Abstrakt: The passage of the fetal head through the vagina during delivery is invariably attended by muscle injury. Excessive tension sever motor endplates attached to muscle cells from the terminal nerve filaments to which they are normally connected. This partial loss of innervation is in large measure responsible for the relaxation of perineal muscles so commonly observed after childbirth.
