| 31. | Reproductive system : the bursa copulatrix is partly surrounded by albumen gland ( posterior pallial oviduct ).
|
| 32. | Over about 22 hours, the albumen, membranes and finally the shell are layered around the yolk.
|
| 33. | The hermaphrodite duct runs forward, connecting to the albumen gland and the common duct ( spermoviduct ).
|
| 34. | The albumen gland ( which creates albumen for the eggs ) is elongated and shaped like a tongue.
|
| 35. | The albumen gland ( which creates albumen for the eggs ) is elongated and shaped like a tongue.
|
| 36. | The tube-like albumen gland is characterized by cells containing dark blue stained vesicles and long cilia.
|
| 37. | Egg white albumen is composed of multiple proteins and ovotransferrin is the most heat reliable protein of them all.
|
| 38. | When that's done the albumen-yolk drops further down, where two shell membranes grow around it.
|
| 39. | The table salt ( sodium chloride ) in the albumen emulsion forms silver chloride when in contact with silver nitrate.
|
| 40. | The albumen in turn is surrounded by two shell membranes ( inner and outer membranes ) and then the eggshell.
