The QuestionBIG

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.

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

Function: the outer shell membrane and inner shell membrane protects the embryo by keeping out germs and keeping in

moisture.

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.

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
