Which extraembryonic membrane in humans prevents desiccation of the embryo inside the uterus?

  1. Yolk sac
  2. Amnion
  3. Chorion
  4. Allantois

Answer

(2) Amnion

Solution

The amnion encloses the embryo in a fluid-filled amniotic cavity.

⇒ The amniotic fluid keeps the embryo moist, prevents desiccation and acts as a shock absorber.

Chorion forms the placenta with the uterine tissue, allantois contributes to the umbilical blood vessels, and the yolk sac is a site of early blood cell formation.

∴ Amnion prevents desiccation of the embryo.
