Concomitant Morphological Modifications of the Avian Eggshell, Eggshell Membranes and the Chorioallantoic Membrane During Embryonic Development

The chicken eggshell (ES) consists of 95% calcium carbonate and 3.5% organic matter, and represents the first physical barrier to protect the developing embryo, while preventing water loss. During the second half of development, calcium ions from the inner ES are progressively solubilized to support...
