Question

The fluid released from the vagina lust prior to childbirth is

• A. Baby's accumulated urine
• B. Amniotic fluid
• C. Mothers plasma from the umbilical cord
• D. Baby's plasma from its fetal circulation

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Amniotic fluid

The amniotic fluid is the protective liquid contained by the amniotic sac of a gravid amniote. This fluid serves as a cushion for the growing fetus but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between mother and fetus. Amniotic fluid is present from the formation of the gestational sac. The forewaters are released when the amnion ruptures prior to childbirth.

So the correct option is 'amniotic fluid'.
