This gross photograph shows an example of normal physiologic hypertrophy. The organs shown are an open uterus (1), cervix (2) and vagina (3), both ovaries (4) and both kidneys (5) from a woman who died shortly after normal delivery from causes unrelated to childbirth. Note the marked thickening of the uterine wall due to smooth muscle cell hypertrophy.
