Step-by-step explanation:

Gravidity (gravida) and parity (para) are medical-biology related terms to pregnancy and birth:

The term GTPAL is an acronym used when the TPAL is preceded with gravidity.

Gravidity, which indicates the total number of verified pregnancies this woman has had, is five.

Parity, which indicates the number of times this woman has given birth to a 24 weeks or more fetus, a live child or stillbirth, are three.

T stands for the Term births, and this woman has had two.

P stands for Preterm births, and this woman has had one.

A stands for abortions, surgical abortions or miscarriages, and this woman has had one.

L stands for living children, and this woman has five.
