Card 7 / 26:
Describe the functions of the three extra-embryonic membranes present in amniotic eggs.
The chorion facilitates the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases between the embryo and the surrounding air. The amnion protects the embryo from mechanical shock and prevents dehydration. The allantois stores nitrogenous wastes produced by the embryo and facilitates respiration.
