Theglands are lined, probably throughout their whole length,with ciliated epithelium which resembles that of thesurface, although it is often not easy to demonstrate the Fig. 44T5.—Superficial Muscular Fibres ofthe Anterior Surface of the Uterus.

If the epithelium is removed it is seen to lie against the flat cells formedfrom the nuclei which have been mentioned. These cellstake the place of a basement membrane, and increase inthickness with the size of the gland. The cervix, like the body, is lined with cili-ated prismatic epithelium, but it differs fromthat of the body in several important particu-lars. The cells are taller and more irregularin height; the nuclei of the several cells do notform a straight line, but lie at any point alongthe height of the cell. It is notuncommon for th
