| In premenopausal women, the transformation zone is primarily located on the ectocervix. |
| The ectocervix has a convex, elliptical surface and is divided into anterior and posterior lips. |
| Note the presence of everted columnar epithelium occupying a large portion of the ectocervix producing ectropion. |
| The portion of the cervix that is exterior to the external os is called the ectocervix, which is readily visible during speculum examination. |
| When associated with the ectocervix, inflammation may be caused by the herpes simplex virus. |
| Normal ectocervix, superficial cell, scanning electron microscopy: Flat cell with traces of other cells and several Döderlein bacilli. |
