Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The amniotic fluid maintains a constant temperature for the fetus. It also permits fetal movement and prevents adherence of the amnion to the fetus. Exchanges between the blood of the mother and the fetus occur through the placenta.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
From the fetus, deoxygenated blood flows through the two umbilical arteries to the placenta, where carbon dioxide and waste products are passed into the maternal blood for elimination. Oxygenated blood passes from the mother, through the placenta, into the umbilical vein, and to the fetus.
