cervix epithelium

An epithelium that is part of a uterine cervix [Automatically generated definition]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the cervix epithelium is

An epithelium that is part of a uterine cervix [Automatically generated definition]. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the human body.

Where the cervix epithelium is

It sits within the reproductive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the cervix epithelium connects to

The atlas records 8 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of uterine cervix and uterus.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the cervix epithelium. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as cervical canal epithelial tissue, cervical canal epithelium, cervical epithelium, cervix epithelial tissue and epithelium of cervix. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the cervix epithelium?

It sits within the reproductive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the cervix epithelium connect to?

Part of: uterine cervix and uterus.

Is the cervix epithelium the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
