What is the function of the amnion and the amniotic fluid?
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
The amnion is the membrane that encloses the developing foetus, and the amniotic fluid within it cushions the foetus against shock and sudden movement, keeps its temperature steady, prevents it from sticking to the membrane and allows it to move freely as it grows.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
The breaking of the amnion at the onset of labour is the breaking of the waters.
