1. The birth canal is the passage through which the fetus is delivered and plays a significant role among the three major factors of labor. The size and shape of the hard birth canal (pelvis) must be adapted to the fetus, which is the key determinant of a smooth delivery. Therefore, obstetric professionals should have a thorough understanding of pelvic knowledge.
