Cervix Mucus (C0007872)

Definition (MSHCZE) Hlen tvořený žlázkami v hrdle děložním (cervix uteri). Jeho vlastnosti se mění vlivem pohlavních hormonů; v první fázi menstruačního cyklu vlivem estrogenů je hojnější, tažnější a na laboratorním sklíčku tvoří po zaschnutí obrazce připomínající kapradí („fenomén kapradí", arborizace). Vyšetření c. h. proto vypovídá o tvorbě estrogenů. Ve druhé fázi cyklu se podílí na uzavření děložního hrdla. Z vlastností c. h. lze usoudit na fázi cyklu a na hormonální činnost. Vyšetření se využívá v antikoncepci a při diagnostice neplodnosti. (cit. Velký lékařský slovník online, 2012 http://lekarske.slovniky.cz/ )
Definition (MSH) A slightly alkaline secretion of the endocervical glands. The consistency and amount are dependent on the physiological hormone changes in the menstrual cycle. It contains the glycoprotein mucin, amino acids, sugar, enzymes, and electrolytes, with a water content up to 90%. The mucus is a useful protection against the ascent of bacteria and sperm into the uterus. (From Dictionary of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1988)
