Abstract
The uterine cervix is the lowest part of the uterus protruding in the vagina. The cervix has two sections, the portio vaginalis or ectocervix and the supravaginal portion. The normal colposcopic findings of the cervix include the original squamous and columnar epithelium, Transformation zone, ectopy, gland openings, atrophic epithelium and deciduosis of pregnancy. The description of all these findings has been discussed in detail in the chapter.
