The supravaginal portion of the cervix is separated in front from the bladder by fibrous tissue (parametrium) which extends also on to its sides and lateralward between the layers of the broad ligaments. The uterine arteries reach the margins of the cervix in this fibrous tissue while on either side the ureter runs downward and forward in it at a distance of about 2 cm. from the cervix.
