Under guidance of ultrasonography machine you take the amniotic fluid sample. This is usually done after 12 weeks of gestation to avoid injury to fetus. Cells there in, are harvested and cultured. They give you complete genetic information of the fetus.

What is an amniocyte?
An amniocyte is a foetal cell floating freely in amniotic fluid.
How does the sperm cell get up to the egg?
It swims through the amniotic fluid to the egg.
What was the first stem cell banking facility to open in the US?
Amniotic stem cell bank a facility that stores stem cell derived from amniotic fluid for future use. the first private amniotic stem cell bank in the US was opened by Biocell center in October 2009 in Medford, Massachusetts.
Does cardiac muscle carry on rapid cell division or is it basically amniotic?
Your question makes no sense - The amniotic sac is the sac in which a foetus develops and is filled with amniotic fluid.This therefore has nothing to do with the heart or cell division rates.
What sex cell helps the unborn baby to grow?
The sperm cell enters the womans vaginal area going to the ovary, which fertalizes the womans egg cell, creating and baby.
Can you explain the function of the amniotic egg?
Amniotic fluid is a pale yellow fluid that serves to cushion the unborn baby from jolts and bumps. It provides a stable temperature and assists in maintaining a consistent body temperature for the unborn child. The fluid allows the baby to move freely and exercise growing muscles to develop a symmetrical musculoskeletal system. It allows for lung development as the baby begins to breathe amniotic fluid to strengthen his lungs and swallow fluid to develop the gastrointestinal tract. The kidneys develop as the baby urinates in the fluid.
What is the womans sex cell called?
An egg
What could you compare a cytoplasm in a cell to in the human body?
Jello or bone marro cytoplasm the jellylike sunstance that fills most of the cell is cytoplasm most other cell parts float within the cytoplasm a human has regular blood and no cytoplasm unlike humans cytoplasm is from plants only
How is an egg a cell?
an egg cell is the cell inside a womans ovary and is released once a month
Is an egg a cell?
an egg cell is the cell inside a womans ovary and is released once a month
What is the membrane that forms a sac around an animal embryo?
The inner most membrane is the fluid filled amniotic sac, next is the yolk sac, where the first blood cell originates. The allantois forms near the yolk sac, while the chorion surrounds all the other ones.
What are aminocentesis?
Amniocentesis (also referred to as amniotic fluid test or AFT), is a medical procedure used in prenatal diagnosis of genetic risk factors, in which a small amount of amniotic fluid, which contains fetal tissues, is extracted from the amnion or amniotic sac surrounding a developing fetus, and the fetal DNA is examined for genetic abnormalities.Before the actual procedure, a local anesthetic is sometimes given to relieve the pain when inserting the syringe to withdraw the fluid. A syringe is usually inserted through the mother's abdominal wall or at the end of the vagina, and through the wall of the uterus into the amniotic sac. With assistance from ultrasound a physician aims an area of the sac that is away from the fetus and extracts a small amount of amniotic fluid for testing. The puncture heals, and the amniotic sac automatically replenishes the liquid over a day or so. After the amniotic fluid is extracted, the fetal cells are separated from it using a centrifuge, and cell chromosomes are examined for abnormalities. Various genetic testing may be performed, but the three most common abnormalities tested for are Down's syndrome, Trisomy 18 and spina bifida. Amniocentesis can be performed as soon as sufficient amniotic fluid surrounds the fetus to allow a sample to be recovered relatively safely, usually no earlier than the 14th week of pregnancy. Often, genetic counseling is offered in conjunction with amniocentesis.
