The first part of this large review on the bibliography of cervical mucus was concerned both with the mechanism and the determinism ensuring its secretion. A second paper reviewed the present knowledge on chemical, physical ultrastructural characteristics of cervical mucus. This paper, the last part of the review, will be concerned with the different functions of the mucus ensuring synchronisation and encounter of the germ cells. From a physiological point of view, the following properties may be ascribed to the cervical secretion: - protection of sperm from the hostile environment of the vagina, and from being phagocytized along the cervical canal ; - cyclic receptivity to sperm penetration at or near ovulation and interference with entry at other periods ; - filtering effect on sperm cells; - possible intracervical sperm storage ; - supplementing the energy requirements of sperm ; - protection of the uterine cavity against bacteria.
关于宫颈黏液文献的这篇大型综述的第一部分，既涉及确保其分泌的机制和决定因素。第二篇论文回顾了目前关于宫颈黏液化学、物理超微结构特征的知识。本文作为该综述的最后一部分，将关注黏液确保生殖细胞同步和相遇的不同功能。从生理学角度来看，宫颈分泌物可能具有以下特性：——保护精子免受阴道恶劣环境的影响，并防止其在宫颈管内被吞噬；——在排卵时或排卵附近对精子穿透具有周期性接受性，并在其他时期干扰精子进入；——对精子细胞的过滤作用；——宫颈内可能储存精子；——补充精子的能量需求；——保护子宫腔免受细菌侵害。
