Title: Cervix (endocervix, human, adult)
Description: Stain: Azan (A, B), Hematoxylin-eosin (C).
(A): Survey of cervix with (1) lumen of the cervical canal; (2) mucous membrane about 2-3 mm thickness (endocervix) with glandular crypts in the proper lamina; (3) small dilated parts of cervical glands; (4) myometrium where smooth muscle bundles merge with dense, blue-stained, connective tissue consisting predominantly of collagen and elastin; (5) large tortuous blood vessels between middle and outer layers of myometrium.
(B): (1) lumen of endocervical canal. The surface secretory epithelium continues into lining of branched tubular cervical glands (2); (3) fibrocellular connective stroma mixed with smooth muscle cells.
(C): The secretory surface-lining cells (1) continue in secretory glandular crypt or invagination; (2) secretion product in the lumen. Note that the glandular mucous cells possess basal nuclei below abundant apical secretion product. The surface mucous epithelial cells, however, do have long thin spindle-like nuclei with much less apical secretion product. (3) fibrocellular connective stroma intermingled with smooth muscle cells and blood vessels.
Background: Cyclic changes hardly occur in the endocervix and no shedding of mucosa during menstruation is usually noticed.
Keywords/Mesh: female reproductive organs, uterus, endocervix, endometrium, myometrium, histology, POJA collection.
