Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fetus receives its nutrition through the mother's blood. The placenta acts as a barrier, allowing nutrients and oxygen to pass from the mother's bloodstream to the fetal bloodstream while filtering out waste products. The amniotic fluid serves as a protective cushion for the fetus, and the mother's digestive tract does not directly provide nutrition to the fetus.
