    The document describes the internal structure of an egg. It discusses the internal and external membranes between the shell and albumen that provide defense against bacteria. It also describes the chalazae, which are plaques of egg white that hold the yolk in the center of the egg like anchors attaching the yolk covering to the eggshell membrane. The more prominent the chalazae, the fresher the egg.

    ‭The structure of an Egg‬

    ‭2.‬ ‭Internal and external membranes‬


    ‭ ocated‬‭between‬‭the‬‭shell‬‭and‬‭albumen‬‭of‬‭the‬‭egg,‬‭these‬
    L
    ‭two‬ ‭transparent‬ ‭protein‬ ‭membranes‬ ‭give‬ ‭an‬ ‭effective‬
    ‭defense‬‭against‬‭bacterial‬‭invasion.‬‭However,‬‭you‬‭will‬‭find‬
    ‭them‬ ‭unexpectedly‬ ‭strong,‬ ‭If‬ ‭you‬ ‭haul‬ ‭these‬ ‭cloaks.‬
    ‭They're‬ ‭composed‬ ‭incompletely‬ ‭of‬ ‭keratin,‬ ‭a‬ ‭protein‬ ‭in‬
    ‭mortal hair.‬

    ‭5.‬ ‭Chalazae‬
    ‭ paque‬ ‭ropes‬ ‭of‬ ‭egg‬ ‭white,‬ ‭the‬ ‭chalazae‬ ‭hold‬ ‭the‬ ‭yolk‬‭in‬
    O
    ‭the‬ ‭center‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭egg.‬ ‭Like‬ ‭little‬ ‭anchors,‬ ‭they‬ ‭attach‬ ‭the‬
    ‭yolk‬ ‭covering‬ ‭to‬ ‭the‬ ‭eggshell‬ ‭membrane.‬ ‭The‬ ‭more‬
    ‭prominent they are, the fresher the egg will be.‬
