Cervix
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cervix is the part of the uterus which protrudes into the vaginal cannal. Its function is like that of a gate to the uterus, or womb, where the fetus develops. It also allows menstrual blood to escape the uterus during the normal reproductive cycle of the female, and allows sperm to access the uterus to fertilize an ova, or egg.
