BIG The Question What are the main parts of an egg and their functions?
Turn to your partner and share one fact you learned about the egg that you did not know before.
shell Function: the shell protects the embryo and provides calcium for strong bones. The shell is porous; it has 6,000-8,000 pores (microscopic holes) allowing the transfer of oxygen, carbon dioxide, humidity and germs into and out of the egg.
shell membrane Function: the outer shell membrane and inner shell membrane protects the embryo by keeping out germs and keeping in moisture.
outer & inner shell membrane shell
air cell Function: the air cell is a 3-day supply of air for the embryo from day 19-21. This is where the chick will take its first breath. It is a shock absorber or cushion for the embryo. The air cell increases in size with age.
outer and inner shell membrane air cell shell
albumen Function: the albumen is food for the embryo. It provides the embryo with protein and water. This is a 16 day food supply.
outer and inner shell membrane albumen shell air cell
chalazae Function: the chalazae are two twisted cords that anchor (hold) the yolk in the middle of the egg.

yolk Function: the yolk is the main source of food for the embryo. The yolk provides the embryo with vitamins, minerals, and fat. The yolk is a 21 day supply of nutrients.

germinal spot Function: the germinal spot is where the embryo begins to grow and develop. Two parental cells (male and female) Blastoderm = fertile contains both male and female cells. Blastodisc=infertile contains one female cell
