3.12 Understand how the developing embryo is protected by amniotic fluid.
Surrounding the developing embryo is a fluid, the amniotic fluid.
This fluid can protect the embryo as it acts as a “shock absorber”; the fluid is mainly water and so cannot be compressed so it absorbs all external pressures to the uterus preventing damage to the embryo.
Furthermore thee embryo “floats” in the amniotic fluid so there is no pressure applied onto the developing bones and muscles of the unborn child mean that it can grow and develop much easier.
