understand how the developing embryo is protected by amniotic fluid
-in the uterus space there is a fluid called the amniotic fluid.
-the function is that it can protect the embryo- the fluid (largely water) cannot be compressed.
-when you try to squeeze the fluid it absorbs the pressure.
-any blows or force applied to the uterus wall, the amniotic fluid will absorb this pressure and prevent damage to the unborn child.
-another function is floating- this is because the bones cannot support the child yet as they are not calcified (hard) at that time.
if you want to experience the effect of absorbing the pressure
- if you are standing in the swimming pool and you try to kick out- your leg doesn't move very quickly and it is difficult to generate great force- example of how the fluid absorbs the force.
