endocervix

The region of the opening of the uterine cervix into the uterine cavity. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the endocervix is

The region of the opening of the uterine cervix into the uterine cavity. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the endocervix 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 endocervix connects to

The atlas records 6 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of reproductive system and uterine cervix.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the endocervix. 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.

Questions

Where is the endocervix?

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 endocervix connect to?

Part of: reproductive system and uterine cervix.

Is the endocervix 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.
