3.12 Amniotic fluid

In the uterus space there is the amniotic fluid
functions:
- can protect the developing embryo - comes from the fluid (largely water) not being able to be compressed.
- When you try to squeeze the fluid it absorbs the pressure.
- This means any blows or force applied to the uterus wall - the amniotic fluid will absorb this pressure and will prevent damage to the unborn child.
