Abstract
The constituents of cervical mucus are water 90%; inorganic salts 1%; small amounts of low molecular organic compounds; and small amounts of high molecular organic substances including glycogen. The bulk of the solid material is formed by glycoproteins normally 1-6%. While the qualitative composition of the cervical secretion seems to be essentially constant there are considerable quantitative variations between the ovulatory and anovulatory phases. The physiological role of cervical mucus and its main function is to act as a protective barrier to the interior of the uterine cavity.
