amnion

Definition

[The amnion] is a thin cellular membrane that encloses the embryo. [...] [It is] formed from narrrow bands of cells along the upper edges of the lateral plates of the gertm band. The amnion cells grow together over the dorsal blastoderm and form anterior and posterior folds, which unite ventrally and finally enclose the embryo in a delicate sac.
