Blood supply of human uterine cervix - a SEM study

The main goal of this study was assessment of vascular structure of human uterine cervix. The study was carried out on 25 human uteri of females aged 25-45, collected upon autopsy. Vessels were injected with synthetic resin, next corroded and coated with gold, finally observed using scanning electro...

Description
Summary:	The main goal of this study was assessment of vascular structure of human uterine cervix. The study was carried out on 25 human uteri of females aged 25-45, collected upon autopsy. Vessels were injected with synthetic resin, next corroded and coated with gold, finally observed using scanning electron microscope. On a sagittal section we have distinguished several zones in the vascular picture of the uterine cervix consisted of differently arranged veins, arteries, arterioles and capillaries. Due to technical reasons we were unable to receive a picture of vascular composition of cervical uterine canal on transverse section. Scanning elector microscopy is a method which might be applied to study the structure of human uterine cervix.
