Cervical Canal - A flattened, normally closed, canal within the uterine cervix that connects the vagina to the cavity within the body of the uterus.
Cervical Canal -- the birth canal.
Chorion -- One of the fetal membranes. It surrounds the fetus and is outside the amnion. By approximately 16 weeks, the amnion fuses to the chorion to form a unified double membrane, the "chorio-amniotic" membrane.
CERVICAL STENOSIS- A blockage of the cervical canal. This is usually from complications of cervical surgery and rarely from congenital defects.
CETROTIDE (CETRORELIX)- A GnRH antagonist drug used to inhibit premature LH surges.
Use of Tuohy needle for intraamniotic methotrexate injection through the cervical canal in a cervical pregnancy after failure of systemic methotrexate treatment.

Cervical Stenosis: A blockage of the cervical canal from a congenital defect or from complications of surgical procedures. See also Cervix. Cervix: The opening between the uterus and the vagina.
Cervical mucus A secretion produced by the lining of the cervical canal. Cervix The lower section of the uterus, which protrudes into the vagina and dilates during labor to allow the passage of the infant.
Laminaria: a rod made of kelp (seaweed) that when placed in the cervical canal absorbs moisture, swells, and gradually dilates the cervix. Used to help induce labor.

A thick mucinous secretion that is present inside the cervical canal. It is produced by glandular cells that are present in the cervix. This mucus protects the uterus from invasion by bacteria present in the vagina.
The cervical canal shortens from 2 cm to paper thin edges and the canal itself disappears. Only the external opening of the uterus remains of what was the cervix.
Cervical Stenosis: Narrowing of the cervical canal in such a way that menstrual flow can partially or completely be impeded. It is often the result of cervical injury due to surgery such as cone biopsy done for an abnormal Pap smear.
If your health care provider is concerned about preterm labor, he or she may test a swab from your cervical canal for the presence of fetal fibronectin.
A tiny flexible catheter is inserted through the cervical canal and uterine cavity into the fallopian tube. A small flexible fiber optic endoscope is threaded through the catheter into the fallopian tube.
CERVICAL MUCUS - The sticky, thick mucus produced by glands in the cervical canal that plugs the opening of the cervix.
Mucus plug - A plug of mucus that blocks the cervical canal during pregnancy to prevent entrance of germs into the uterus; the plug is loosened and passed during labor, ...
An ectopic pregnancy can occur in the fallopian tubes, cervical canal, or the pelvic or abdominal cavity. The cause of an ectopic pregnancy is usually scar tissue in the fallopian tube from infection or disease.
The mucus plug is the small amount of thickened mucus that blocks the cervical canal leading to your uterus. The plug may come out all at once in a lump, or as increased vaginal discharge over the course of several days.
It is then placed in a catheter, which is used to pass the semen directly into the cervical canal. For each ICI attempt, you'll need to be inseminated at your clinic or doctor's office.
Columnar Cells: Column shaped cells that line the cervical canal. They have only one layer and are involved in the glandular activity of the cervix. Where they meet the squamous type cells is called the squamo-columnar junction.13 ...
The cervical mucus plugs the cervical canal and normally prevents foreign materials from entering the reproductive tract. The cervix remains closed during pregnancy and dilates during labor and delivery to allow the baby to be born.
The cervical mucus is becoming thicker and it will form a plug in the cervical canal. This plug seals the cervix throughout your pregnancy and will be expelled just before you deliver the baby, when the cervix begins to dilate.
The doctor systematically examines the lining of the cervical canal; the lining of the uterine cavity; and looks for the internal openings of the fallopian tubes where they enter the uterine cavity - the tubal ostia.
An accumulation of thick clear secretions in the cervical canal.
Multigravida
A woman who has been pregnant more than once regardless of whether she carried the pregnancy to term.
By the seventh week, the cervix has started to soften and the mucus plug at the cervical canal is formed. This "plug" seals off the uterus from the outside world and will remain in place until shortly before labor.
At this point, you will develop a mucus plug, which forms in the opening of the cervical canal and seals off the uterus for protection.
Specific developments that occur during this week include the following: ...
Mucus Plug - A thick plug of mucus that blocks the cervical canal during pregnancy.
Multiple Gestation - Term for more than one baby developing in the womb.
hysteroscopy - a visual inspection of the cervical canal and uterine cavity with an endoscope.

Intracervical insemination (ICI)
Artificial insemination technique in which sperm are placed in or near the cervical canal of the female reproductive tract, using a syringe or a catheter, for the purpose of conception.
endocervical curettage (ECC) - a procedure which uses a narrow instrument called a curette to scrape the lining of the endocervical canal. This type of biopsy is usually completed along with the colposcopic biopsy.

HOSTILE MUCUS: Cervical mucus that impedes the natural progress of sperm through the cervical canal.
A screening test to evaluate the cells of the cervix to determine whether they are normal or cancerous. The physician or nurse removes some cells from the cervical canal with a brush or spatula (usually a painless process, [...] ...
Since adequate sampling of the TZ is so important, adding the "cyto-"brush as a second part of the cell retrieval has improved on sampling. This brush is actually inserted into the cervical canal itself a bit, making more likely crossing the TZ.
Eventually, the cervical canal must open until the cervical opening itself has reached 10 centimeters in diameter and the baby is able to pass into the birth canal.
The ultrasound may be performed when you are planning a pregnancy or are in the early stages of a pregnancy. A hysterosalpingogram, or HSG, may also help determine the appearance of the cervical canal in a nonpregnant state.
