Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your cervix is an important part of your reproductive anatomy. Your cervix is located inside your pelvic cavity, anywhere from 3 to 6 inches inside your vaginal canal.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus which connects the uterus to the vagina. It is a small tubular structure that protects the uterus from infection and facilitates the passage of sperm during intercourse.

Detailed explanation-3: -When sperm enter the vagina, they come into contact with cervical mucus. The cervical mucus does two things: protects and rejects. It protects sperm from the vagina’s acidity as well as rejects sperm whose shape and motility would otherwise keep them from reaching the egg.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your fallopian tubes play a crucial role in enabling sperm to reach your egg and transporting a fertilized egg to your uterus. You may have trouble getting pregnant if there’s a blockage in your fallopian tubes (tubal obstruction) or a structural irregularity.
