Anatomical terminology [edit on Wikidata]

Thesupravaginal portion of the cervix (also known as theuterine portion of the cervix) is separated in front from thebladder by fibrous tissue (parametrium), which extends also on to its sides and lateralward between the layers of thebroad ligaments.

Theuterine arteries reach the margins of the cervix in this fibrous tissue, while on either side theureter runs downward and forward in it at a distance of about 2 cm (0.79 in) from the cervix.

Posteriorly, the supravaginal cervix is covered by peritoneum, which is prolonged below on to the posterior vaginal wall, when it is reflected on to therectum, forming therecto-uterine pouch.

It is in relation with the rectum, from which it may be separated by coils ofsmall intestine.
