The cervix is the passageway between the vagina and the uterus. The opening is generally very small, but just enough to allow menstrual blood out, and semen in.
In labor the contractions of the uterus cause the cervix to thin and dilate, so the baby can pass through the vagina and into the world.
The function of the cervix is to allow flow of menstrual blood from the uterus into the vagina, and direct the sperms into the uterus during intercourse.
