Open in App
Solution

Amnion:

The amnion is the membrane that provides protection and encloses the embryo. Between the embryo and the chorion, it is located.

Location:

  1. The amnion contains a thin, translucent fluid in which the embryo is hung, providing a cushion against mechanical harm.
  2. It keeps aminon from sticking towards the embryo.
  3. Amnion is lined with ectoderm and covered with mesoderm (both germ layers).
  4. In addition, the amnion protects the embryo from fluid loss and tissue adhesions.

Final answer

Amnion is located between the embryo and the chorion.
