"Meconium in the amniotic fluid". Meconium is a very dark green color.
It can also be referred to as "meconium stain" when there is only a small amount in the fluid. Meconium is the name for the infants' first fecal material, which has some different characteristics than that of later stools that are the products of food digestion. Meconium in the amniotic fluid can sometimes (but not always) be an indication of fetal distress during delivery, or certain medical conditions in a baby.
I know in Portuguese: mecônio.

What is the main source of amniotic fluid?
Fetal urine is the main source of amniotic fluid in the latter two-thirds of pregnancy
What in the fetal environment prevents this heat from being lost?
amniotic fluid

amniotic fluid
What so a procedure used in fetal diagnosis in which amniotic fluid is removed from the uterus?
Amniocentesis
What is a amniocentesiss?
Its a medical procedure where they take a small amount of fluid from around the fetus, the fluid is called amniotic fluid. Then this is tested for any chromosome abnormalities, so they can check if the child will have any sever genetic problems, because the amniotic fluid contains fetal tissues which contains chromosomes.
When saccharin was added to amniotic fluid researchers noticed an increase in fetal?
They observed an increase in fetal sucking. It increased as much as 50%.
What is the membrane of fluid that holds the fetus in the mothers womb called?
The membrane is called the Amniotic Sac, and the fluid is the Amniotic Fluid
What is am- biotic fluid?
Amniotic fluid is the fluid that surrounds and cushions the fetus inside the amniotic sac during pregnancy. It provides protection, helps regulate temperature, and allows movement for the developing fetus. The amniotic fluid is produced by the fetus and is mainly composed of water and fetal urine.
What is the bag called where the amniotic fluid is kept?
There is only a single bag of amniotic fluid.....unless you have twins.
What type of fetal cells are shed into the surrounding fluid?
Amniotic fluid, drawn out of the mother's abdomen in an amniocentesis procedure, can show many aspects of baby's genetic health. This fluid also contains fetal cells, which can be examined for genetic defects and amniotic stem cells.
What is the shock absorbing fluid within the womb of mammals?
Amniotic fluid is the shock-absorbing fluid found within the womb of mammals. It surrounds the developing fetus, providing protection against physical impact and facilitating fetal movement.
What are the fetal cells found in amniotic fluid?
Fetal cells found in amniotic fluid primarily include epithelial cells, which are shed from the fetal skin and respiratory tract, as well as hematopoietic cells from the fetal blood. These cells can be analyzed in procedures like amniocentesis to assess genetic conditions, chromosomal abnormalities, and fetal health. Additionally, they provide valuable information about the fetus's development and can help in diagnosing certain congenital disorders.
