The cervix is the lowermost part of the uterus that protrudes into the vagina. It functions as a passageway for menstrual blood, sperm during intercourse, and a baby during delivery. The urethra is a separate structure that carries urine out of the body, while the ejaculatory duct is a tube that carries semen from the seminal vesicles to the urethra in males. The perimetrium is the outermost layer of the uterus and the isthmus is a narrow portion at the top of the uterus where it connects to the Fallopian tubes.
