"Relations "
"anterior: separated from the bladder by fibrous tissue (parametrium), which extends also on to its sides and the lateral wall between the layers of the broad ligaments."
"lateral: the uterine arteries reach the margins of the cervix within the broad ligaments, while on either side the ureter runs downward and forward in it at a distance of about 2 cm from the cervix."
"posterior: the supravaginal cervix is covered by peritoneum, which extends below onto the posterior vaginal wall, and then is reflected onto the rectum, forming the rectouterine excavation. It is in close proximity to the rectum, from which it may be separated by coils of the small bowel."
