  • Providing a physical barrier to the uterus therefore preventing abortion due to infection by isolating the feotus from the external environment.
  • Glands in the mucosa of the cervix produce vast quantities of mucous in the Cow and Ewe

Anatomical Boundaries

  • Located between the Uterus and the Vagina.

Histology

Vascularisation

  • Uterine artery off the Internal Iliac artery (External Iliac artery in the Mare).
