Amnion (Greek amnos = lamb, amnion = "sheep's membrane") is the internal fetal envelope delimiting the cavity filled with amniotic fluid. It consists of tvořený ectoderm and extraembryonic mesoderm (extraembryonic mesoderm subsequently differentiates into mesenchymeand the latter into the fibrous layer). By enlarging the amniotic cavity, the amnion envelops the germinal shaft and ductus omphaloentericus,connects them together and helps the primitive umbilical cord to form. In the third of its development (end of the 3rd month), it fuses with the chorion and forms achorioamnion.
