Definition

  • Cervical mucus is continuously produced by the secretory cells of the endocervix, and its quality and quantity vary depending upon the hormonal status of the estrous cycle. The viscosity of the cervical mucus is one of the factors which determine the ability of spermatozoa to penetrate into the uterine cavity. Viscosity is the measurement of resistance of a liquid to flow and can be measured using qualitative or quantitative methods.
