Definition: The opening of the cervix. There are both external and internal os in the cervix, like a funnel.

This opening to the uterus opens for ovulation to allow sperm to enter. It also is what effaces and dilates in labor and delivery to allow for the birth of the baby.

Una volta per tutte: è vero si tratta dell'apertura. Ma la Portio non è l'apertura. L'apertura si chiama ostio cervicale o orifizio della cervice uterina, che come dice anche il link postato da altri si tova all'estremità arrotondata della portio
The external orifice of the uterus (or ostium of uterus, or external os) is a small, depressed, somewhat circular aperture on the rounded extremity of the vaginal portion of the cervix.
