Question

Complete the following by using suitable words

The embryo inside the uterus is protected from jerks or mechanical shocks by __________.

Answer 1

The embryo:

1. Fertilization results in the development of single-celled zygotes in organisms. The zygote divides repeatedly and is placed in the uterus. This is now known as an embryo.
2. The embryo is protected by the amniotic fluid from physical harm caused by shocks and jerks.
3. Amniotic fluid keeps an equal pressure around the embryo, allows for some restricted movement of the fetus, and keeps the fetus from clinging to the amnion.

Final answer: The embryo inside the uterus is protected from jerks or mechanical shocks by amniotic fluid.
