Shell membrane- protects the embryo from bacteria, outside elements
Albumen-(white) protects embryo/provides embryo with water
Chalazae-Protects the embryo from vibrations and holds yolk in place (like a seatbelt)
Yolk-Provides food for embryo(vitamins, minerals, fat)
Air Cell-A sac of air at the bottom of the shell
