Summary

Description
English:
  1. -Amniotic sac
  2. -Embryo
  3. -Uterine lining
  4. -Speculum
  5. -Vacurette
  6. -The vacurette is attached to a suction pump

A diagram of a vacuum aspiration abortion procedure at 8 weeks gestation. The vagina is held opened by a speculum [4] in order for a tube (called a vacurette [5]) which is attached [6] to a suction pump to be inserted through the patient's cervix. The products of conception (amionic sac [1], embryo [2], uterine lining [3], etc) are then evacuated through the vacurette.

I used Image:SpirellaCorsetry02.gif as tracing reference for the hands and Image:Illu repdt female.jpg as tracing reference for the internal organs and body outline. The references I used for the procedure itself come from two sources: Jones, R. E. and Lopez, K. H. Human Reproductive Biology. p. 425; and Decherney, A. H. and Pernoll, M. L. Current Obstetric & Gynecologic Diagnosis & Treatment. p. 684.
