Endocervical curettage-- Biopsy performed with a curette to scrape the mucous membrane of the cervical canal.
ECC stands for endocervical curettage. During a colposcopy, ECC is typically taken as a biopsy of the endocervical canal.
The canal that leads to the primary internal female reproductive organs is the
A hyperechoic mass in the endocervical canal on ultrasound imaging may indicate the presence of a polyp, fibroid, or other benign growth. Further evaluation, such as a biopsy, may be needed to determine the exact nature of the mass.

yes the canal does contain cerebrospinal fluid....
Searching with the same question, I found this answer at: http://www.drfeelgood.com.au/articles/tests/understanding_pap_smears.htm The canal inside the cervix (endocervical canal) which leads to the uterus cavity is lined by cells which make a transition to become those of the internal lining of the uterus. The transition point can easily vary from woman to woman and even from time to time in the same woman. This transition is not visible with the naked eye. One theory is that the abnormal calls occur at the point of transition. This is why a doctor aims to get a sample from the endocervical canal. A pap smear result routinely reports the presence or absence of these endocervical cells. The aim is to have a representation of endocervical component ensuring that the transition point has been past. It is important to check with your doctor that the endocervical component is present. I always use a brush inserted into the cervix canal when I do a pap smear . I tell the patient whether I feel I have adequately sampled the area. If there is no endocervical component present I discuss with the patient that forcing the brush up any further may not be appropriate. We discuss risks versus benefits of screening tests and decide together whether we will take any further action on the matter.
what instrument is used to obtain a endocervical tissue
The medical term for a divot in the cervix is "cervical ectropion" or "cervical erosion." This condition is usually benign and occurs when the delicate lining of the cervix extends onto the outer surface. It can sometimes cause minor bleeding or discomfort but typically does not require treatment.

The physician inserts a moistened, nonlubricated vaginal speculum. After the cervix is exposed, the physician removes the cervical mucus. Next, he or she inserts a sterile cotton-tipped swab into the endocervical canal and rotates the swab.
