Full dilatation is reached when the cervix is the size of the baby's head; at around 10 cm dilation for a term baby. This is usually done using the fingers.
No, once you have dialated your cervix will not close.
The medical term for preparation of the cervix for birth is "cervical ripening." This process involves softening and thinning of the cervix to allow for easier passage of the baby through the birth canal.
If the cervix is 100% effaced and one centimeter dilated, it means that the cervix is completely thinned out but dilation is not that much. The baby will come when he is ready, but some women walk or have sex in an attempt to bring on labor.
10 cm dilatation.
Cervical manipulation.
It is known as effacement. Usually occurs before dilation in first time mom's and after dilation is subsequent pregnancies. Labor doesn't usually occur until after 100% effacement and 10 cm dilation. If labor does occur and the cervix is not 100% effaced and dilated, then a C-section is a probability.
A D and E is known as a "Dilation and Evacuation" procedure. The cervix is dilated and the contents of the uterus are expelled.

To increase in size. You use the dilation property in coordinative graphs.
Geometric dilation (size change, typically expansion) does not change the shape of a figure, or its center location, only the size.
Effacement refers to a stage in labor during which the cervix becomes thin and begins the process of dilation which moves the cervix out of the way so the baby can be born. When the cervix is fully effaced and dilated to 10 centimeters, the baby begins to move down the birth canal.
