Bloody show is the passage of a small amount of blood or blood tinged mucus through the vagina near the end of pregnancy . It can occur just before Childbirth labor or in early labor as the cervix changes shape, freeing mucus and blood that occupied the cervical glands or cervical os. Bloody show is a relatively common feature of pregnancy, and it does not signify increased risk to the mother or baby. A larger amount of bleeding, however, may signify a more dangerous, abnormal complication of pregnancy, such as placental abruption or placenta previa . Large amounts of bleeding during or after childbirth itself may come from uterine atony or laceration of the cervix, vagina, or perineum . 3 common signs of the onset of labor are A bloody show Rupture of membranes Waters breaking Onset of tightenings or contractions However, these may occur at any time and in any order. Some women neither experience a bloody show nor have their waters break until well into advanced labor. Therefore, neither bloody show nor rupture of membranes are required to establish labor.

In biology, columnar refers to the shape of epithelial cells that are taller than they are wide. ref http cellbio.utmb.edu microanatomy default.htm Microanatomy Web Atlas Bot generated title ref Form follows function in biology, and columnar morphorphology hints at the functions of the cell. Columnar cells are important in absorption and movement of mucus.

Columnar epithelium may be simple or Stratified columnar epithelium stratified . Simple columnar epithelium is most common and involves one layer of cells attached to a basement membrane . The nucleus is closer to the Basal anatomy basal aspect of the cell than the Apical anatomy apical aspect. Single stratification tends to indicate absorptive function.
