Overview

The cervix is the lowermost part of the uterus which connects the uterus to the vagina in female reproductive organs. It plays a vital role in childbirth by dilating the opening during the labor. During ovulation, the cervix produces cervical mucus to help the sperm travel to the uterus. The cervix also produces mucus that helps in the prevention of infections. Additionally, it helps to regulate the menstrual cycle. Finally, some medical procedures, such as the Pap test, use the cervix to screen for cervical cancer.
