Study Notes
Cervix Structure
- The cervix is a thick walled, muscular tube rich in elastic fibers.
Mucosa and Submucosa
- Primary, secondary, and tertiary folds are present in the mucosa-submucosa.
Epithelial Lining
- The lining epithelium is simple columnar.
- Many mucigenous cells, including goblet cells, are present in the lining epithelium.
Lamina Propria and Submucosa
- The lamina propria-submucosa contains dense irregular connective tissue.
- Collagenous and elastic fibers are present in the lamina propria-submucosa.
- Intraepithelial and simple tubular glands are present in ruminants.
- Uterine glands do not extend into the cervix.
Muscular Layer
- The tunica muscularis consists of inner circular and outer longitudinal muscle layers.
- Elastic fibers are prominent in the circular layer.
Serosa Layer
- The tunica serosa contains loose connective tissue.
- The tunica serosa is covered by mesothelium.
