II. Anatomy: Columnar Epithelium Landmarks (Uterus)
- Endocervical canal
- Columnar epithelium villi
-
Ectropion
- Eversion of columnar epithelium onto ectocervix
- Appears like an erosion
III. Anatomy: Transitional Landmarks (Squamous Metaplasia)
- Transformation Zone
- From True (proximal) to Original (distal) SCJ
- Where premalignant changes and neoplasia occur
- Encompasses Immature and mature squamous metaplasia
- True Squamocolumnar junction
- Upper or proximal limit of squamous metaplasia
- Usually not visualized
- Within endocervical canal
- Approximately 3 cm from observed SCJ
- Immature Squamous metaplasia
- Observed Squamocolumnar Junction
IV. Anatomy: Squamous Epithelium Landmarks (Vagina)
- Mature squamous metaplasia
- Nabothian cysts/follicles are in this area
- Original Squamocolumnar Junction
- Squamous epithelium
- Ectocervix

| Definition (MEDLINEPLUS) |
The cervix is the lower part of the uterus, the place where a baby grows during pregnancy. The cervix has a small opening that expands during childbirth. It also allows menstrual blood to leave a woman's body. Your healthcare provider may perform a Pap test during your health checkup to look for changes to the cells of the cervix, including cervical cancer. Other problems with the cervix include:
|
| Definition (NCI) | A non-neoplastic or neoplastic disorder that affects the cervix. Representative examples include cervicitis, endocervical polyp, and carcinoma. |
