Postgraduate Medicine, 1962The concept of “cervical incompetence-late abortion” is neither complex nor mysterious. The cervix is fundamentally a connective tissue structure whose major function is to retain the conceptus within the uterus after 14 weeks' gestation; neither the internal os, isthmus, lower uterine segment nor any other structure is concerned.

Cervical Incompetence and Preterm Labor
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1988The ability of the cervix to function as a competent sphincter to retain the fetoplacental unit in utero until term is dependent on a complex set of biochemical, biophysical, and environmental events.
