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.
example of absorbing the pressure:
in a swimming pool when you try to kick it with your leg - leg doesn't move very quickly, hard to generate great force. - example of how the fluid absorbs the force.

ReplyDeletethe blogs you have produced this term are excellent. The information is well presented and the formatting is very good (easy to read). This is exactly the approach needed for the rest of this academic year.
there is an other function which is that floating because the bones cannot support the child as they are not calcified (hard) at that time.
