Question: is the cervix the neck of the womb

Answer: Yes, The word cervix (/ˈsɜːrvɪks/) came to English from Latin, where it means ``neck'', and like its Germanic counterpart, it can refer not only to the neck (of the body) but also to an analogous narrowed part of an object. The cervix uteri (neck of the uterus) is thus the uterine cervix, but in English the word cervix used alone usually refers to it. Thus the adjective cervical may refer either to the neck (as in cervical vertebrae or cervical lymph nodes) or to the uterine cervix (as in cervical cap or cervical cancer).
