Cervical ectopy is the medical term for cervical erosion. To the surface of the cervix, the inside of the cervical canal extend on which lined by cells, that is the condition of cervical erosion.
Squamous epithelium lines the outside of cervical canal and columar epithelium lines the inside of the cervical canal normally. At the squamo-columnar junction these connect. Onto the vaginal portion of cervix and on the surface of the cervical os, the columnar epithelium may extend further down and protrude in cervical erosion. To stratify squamous epithelium, it may transform and also undergo squamous metaplasia.
