A clear fluid that surrounds the fetus in the amniotic sac. Its primary functions are to suspend and protect the growing fetus, allow freedom of movement, maintain even constant temperature, and aid normal development of the fetal lungs. Volume increases from about 50 mL at 12 gestational weeks...

infusion of the compound, but this elevation was proportionately smaller than in plasma. We conclude that, in the perinatal period, brain and peripheral circulation function as separate compartments with respect to PGE2, though there is passage of the compound across the blood-brain barrier. ...
698 1H-NMRS OF CSF OF HYPOXIC FETAL LAMBS 699 However, MH might lead to an impairment of fetal brain metab- olism that cannot be confirmed in histologic preparations. 1H-NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique that makes it possible to study various metabolites simultaneously. When neuronal ...
When individual tissues of various species were analyzed separately, there were variations in the rate of chemical development, possibly reflecting differences in their functional maturation. Interestingly, the developmental pattern of brain electrolytes in fetal sheep and guinea pigs followed paraboloid relat...
Free metanephrine in human amniotic fluid as an index of fetal sympathetic nervous system maturation Free metanephrine, a major metabolite of catecholamines, was measured in the amniotic fluid of 113 pregnant patients at various gestational ages. The resul... R Artal,CJ Hobel,R Lam,... - ...
Explain fetal brain development through the first 8 weeks. Explain the health effects and purpose of water in body fluids. What is the function of synovial membranes? Explain the basic processes of urine formation. Describe when and how blood is formed in the embryo, fetus, childhood, and adul...
Amniotic fluid embolism is rare. Estimates suggest that it happens in roughly 1 in 40,000 pregnancies.8 What causes amniotic fluid embolism? Amniotic fluid embolism happens when amniotic fluid (or fetal material like fetal cells, hair, or other debris) enters a pregnant person's bloodstream durin...
