Reproductive Environment
Function:
The cervix acts as the door to the uterus which sperm can travel through to fertilize eggs. When your body is not carrying a child, your cervix helps keep unhealthy things out of your body, like tampons and bathwater. When you’re pregnant, the cervix helps keep the baby in place until it’s fully developed.
Fun Fact:
Did you know you can still have a baby without a cervix?
