Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Amniotic fluid allows for symmetrical fetal growth, cushions the fetus from mechanical injury, and aids in fetal musculoskeletal development. Amniotic fluid prevents adherence of the amnion to the fetus and is essential for normal fetal lung development and temperature regulation. Amniotic fluid does not provide nourishment to the fetus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
The placenta produces four main hormones: estrogens, human chorionic gonadotropin, human placental lactogen, and progesterone. Luteinizing hormone is produced in the anterior pituitary gland.
