Teachers to utilize this power point Please do the following: 1. Each student will need a copy of slides 22-23 (print on front/back) 2. Slide 23: Students will work on embryology terms in class. Front side 3. Slide 22: Students will label the egg diagram Back copy ”Ticket out the door” SWBAT: recall from power point lesson Can be used as a quiz
2
The Question BIG What are the main parts of an egg and their functions?
3
Turn to your partner and share one fact you learned about the egg that you did not know before.
4
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.

6
Function: the outer shell membrane and inner shell membrane protects the embryo by keeping out germs and keeping in moisture.
7
shell shell membrane outer & inner
8
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.

10
Function: the albumen is food for the embryo. It provides the embryo with protein and water. This is a 16 day food supply.

12
Function: the chalazae are two twisted cords that anchor (hold) the yolk in the middle of the egg.

14
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.

16
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
