FA 2019 pg 612 Endocervix-simple columnar epithelium

Anki Card I made: Vagina = {{c1::Stratified squamous}} Cervix = {{c1::Stratified squamous --> simple columnar (endocervix)}} Uterus = {{c2::simple columnar}} Fallopian tubes = {{c2::simple columnar}} Ovaries = {{c3::simple cuboidal}}

The squamo-columnar junction situated at the external os of the cervix is one site which is highly vulnerable to metaplasia or neoplastic transformation under adverse circumstances, such as chronic infection or trauma. Usually, squamous metaplasia where squamous cells replace the columnar cells of the endocervical canal, is observed. However, in less common situations, particularly after trauma, tubal metaplasia may develop, replacing endocervical nonciliated columnar epithelial cells by ′ciliated columnar′ cells, similar to those seen in fallopian tubes. Tubal metaplasia is mostly seen in the upper part of the endocervical canal near the internal os, but may also be found in the endocervical glands or the lower endocervical canal. http://medind.nic.in/jbb/t08/i1/jbbt08i1p33.htm

i chose endometrium(simple columnar epithelium) as i thought by her age she is still menstruating and the Shedded endometrium is found in the cervical region, why not!!!!
