Mishnah 1א׳

יוֹצֵא דֹפֶן, אֵין יוֹשְׁבִין עָלָיו יְמֵי טֻמְאָה וִימֵי טָהֳרָה, וְאֵין חַיָּבִין עָלָיו קָרְבָּן. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, הֲרֵי זֶה כְיָלוּד. כָּל הַנָּשִׁים מִטַּמְּאוֹת בַּבַּיִת הַחִיצוֹן, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא ט״ו:י״ט), דָּם יִהְיֶה זֹבָהּ בִּבְשָׂרָהּ. אֲבָל הַזָּב וּבַעַל קֶרִי, אֵינָן מִטַּמְּאִים, עַד שֶׁתֵּצֵא טֻמְאָתָן לַחוּץ:

For a Caesarean section, one does not sit for the days of impurity or the days of purity, and one is not liable to bring a sacrifice on its account. Rabbi Shimon says: it is like one who was birthed [regularly]. All women render impurity [from when the blood is] in the outer chamber, as the verse says (Leviticus 15), "Blood will be her flow within her flesh." But a zav [a male who has certain types of atypical genital discharges, which render him impure] and a ba'al keri [a male who has had a seminal emission but has yet to purify himself by immersion in a mikveh] do not render impurity until their impurity emerges to the outside.

Mishnah 2ב׳

הָיָה אוֹכֵל בַּתְּרוּמָה וְהִרְגִּישׁ שֶׁנִּזְדַּעְזְעוּ אֵבָרָיו, אוֹחֵז בָּאַמָּה וּבוֹלֵעַ אֶת הַתְּרוּמָה. וּמְטַמְּאִים בְּכָל שֶׁהוּא, אֲפִלּוּ כְעֵין הַחַרְדָּל וּבְפָחוֹת מִכָּן:

If a man was eating terumah [a portion of a crop given to the priests which can only be consumed by priests or their household] and he felt his limbs tremble violently [i.e. he had a seminal emission], he should hold his member [to prevent the discharge] and swallow the terumah [already in his mouth, since one is forbidden to consume terumah while impure]. And they [the discharges of a zav or a ba'al keri] render impurity in any amount, even the size of a mustard seed, or smaller than that.
