A
Amniotic fluid provides a uniform temperature for the growing fetus, as well as providing cushioning and allowing the fetus to move easily within the uterus. Amniotic fluid may be important to metabolism, but nutrients are supplied in the maternal blood. The amniotic fluid does not function to provide a barrier from harmful noises or protect the skin of the fetus.
