Manual Removal of the Placenta after Vaginal Delivery: An Unsolved Problem in Obstetrics by Fiona Urner, Roland Zimmermann, Alexander Krafft

“…Despite scant evidence it is commonly advised that if the placenta has not been expelled 30 minutes after delivery, manual removal of the placenta should be carried out under anaesthesia. Pathologic adhesion of the placenta in the low risk situation usually is diagnosed at the time of delivery; therefore a pre- or intrapartum screening opportunity for placenta accreta would be desirable. …”

Biological Processes that Prepare Mammalian Spermatozoa to Interact with an Egg and Fertilize It by Daulat R. P. Tulsiani, Aïda Abou-Haila

“…The net result is the fusion of the sperm plasma membrane and the underlying outer acrosomal membrane at multiple sites that causes the release of acrosomal contents at the site of sperm-egg adhesion. The hydrolytic action of the acrosomal enzymes released, along with the hyperactivated beat pattern of the bound spermatozoon, is important factor that directs the sperm to penetrate the egg coat and fertilize the egg. …”
