Introduction :-)

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.

Importance :-)

It helps to protect the fetus from trauma to the maternal abdomen.
It cushions the umbilical cord from compression between the fetus and uterus.
It has antibacterial properties that provide some protection from infection.
It serves as a reservoir of fluid and nutrients for the fetus.

Formation :-)

Amniotic fluid is present from the formation of the gestational sac. Amniotic fluid is in the amniotic sac. It is generated from maternal plasma, and passes through the fetal membranes by osmotic and hydrostatic forces. When fetal kidneys begin to function around week 16, fetal urine also contributes to the fluid. In earlier times, it was believed that the amniotic fluid was composed entirely of fetal urine.

The fluid is absorbed through the fetal tissue and skin. After 22 to 25 week of pregnancy, fraternization of an embryo's skin occurs. When this process completes around the 25th week, the fluid is primarily absorbed by the fetal gut for the remainder of gestation.

Contents :-)

At first, amniotic fluid is mainly water with electrolytes, but by about the 12-14th week the liquid also contains proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and phospholipids, and urea, all of which aid in the growth of the fetus.

Hope its helpful :-)

If so, please mark me as brainlist :-)

Red blood cells (erythrocytes)

The red blood cells are highly specialized, well adapted for their primary function of transporting oxygen from the lungs to all of the body tissues. Red cells are approximately 7.8 μm (1 μm = 0.000039 inch) in diameter and have the form of biconcave disks, a shape that provides a large surface-to-volume ratio. When fresh blood is examined with the microscope, red cells appear to be yellow-green disks with pale centres containing no visible internal structures. When blood is centrifuged to cause the cells to settle, the volume of packed red cells (hematocrit value) ranges between 42 and 54 percent of total volume in men and between 37 and 47 percent in women; values are somewhat lower in children. Normal red blood cells are fairly uniform in volume, so that the hematocrit value is determined largely by the number of red cells per unit of blood. The normal red cell count ranges between four million and six million per cubic millimetre.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris) are used to ______ reuptake and _____ the amount of serotonin in the cleft.

Maurinko [17]

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris) are used to synaptic cleft reuptake and serotonin the amount of serotonin in the cleft.

Antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are frequently prescribed.
They are frequently prescribed in conjunction with a talking therapy like cognitive behavioral therapy to treat depression, especially persistent or severe cases (CBT).
Neurons must be able to communicate with one another in order to convey signals that can be sent throughout the body. Neurons are not merely linked to one another, though.
A neurotransmitter is typically produced from the axon terminal after an action potential has reached the synapse, the location where neurons can communicate with one another.

what diagnosis might a doctor give to Greta who has thin, brittle hair and nails, yellowish skin, and drowny growth on her face

podryga [215]

Anorexia nervosa. Due to the lack of nutrients it affects the hair and nails, and carotenemia is responsible for the yellow skin. I’m not sure what the term is referred to regarding the drowny growth.
