This work attempts to sketch a coherent picture of the amniotic
fluid com partment, its borders, and the interactions occurring
between fetus and amniotic fluid, for it is this compartment which
for 10 months provides the habitat in which the fetus and its
functions develop. As a matter of course, our mor phological
studies had to be limited to the situation prevailing at the full
term of pregnancy. This portrayal purposely neglects the placenta,
which is already the subject of an extraordinary profusion of
literature. The other aspects of the embryonic sac have been
overshadowed to date by the preeminent role 2 of the placenta,
although they represent around 1200cm of contact surface in the
maternal compartment. From our point of view, the fetal membranes
not only act as a seal or simply a diffusion barrier, but actively
participate in the exchange processes between compartments. The
author also took pains to compile (albeit incompletely) the widely
scattered findings reported in clinical journals in order to
present them as a well-rounded summary of the mor phological
picture and the functional happenings involved in fetal develop
ment. The author's own studies of a specifically histomorphological
nature provided the groundwork for this synopsis. A special branch
of embryology, embryonal physiology, is treated only incidentally
in today's embryology textbooks. This work offers several
encounters with this field, which should help make it the focus of
greater interest. 2 Definition of Terms Fig. 1.
