Japanese term or phrase: けい(頚)部
Full sentence:けい(頚)部の形状は、平形(D部)又は波形(E部)のいずれでも差し支えない
The sentence refers to the Gerber Butyrometers(ゲルベル乳脂計). My question is, can I use the direct translation of the word - cervix - here? Is there another specified term in English? Thank you in advance.

けい(頚)部 is the bottom part.

P.S. If you imagine turning the butyrometer illustrated in your link upside-down, it will be easier to picture it as "the neck." :-)

agree  Will Matter: Agree. "Neck" works well, "cervix" leaves something to be desired. The correct term, in this case, is "neck".

agree  Kanako Fujiwara: 瓶(bottle)などの、細くなっているところ(や上部,注ぎ口のすぐ下など)を指し、訳語はneckで十分かと思います。
