B
Feedback:
Fetal nuchal translucency testing involves an intravaginal ultrasound that measures fluid collection in the subcutaneous space between the skin and cervical spine of the fetus. Insertion of a needle into the fetus's umbilical vessel describes percutaneous umbilical blood sampling. Taking a sample of fluid from the amniotic sac (bag of waters) describes an amniocentesis. Obtaining a small tissue specimen from the fetal part of the placenta describes chorionic villus sampling.
