A
Yolk
B
Egg
C
Shell Membrane
D
Egg Tooth
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Inside the shell there are two membranes (as seen in Figure 6). The outer membrane is attached to the shell, the inner membrane is attached to the albumen or egg white. These two membranes provide a protective barrier against bacterial penetration.

Detailed explanation-2: -The shell also has a thin outermost coating called the bloom or cuticle that helps keep out bacteria and dust. Lying between the eggshell and egg white, these two transparent protein membranes provide efficient defense against bacterial invasion. If you give these layers a tug, you’ll find they’re surprisingly strong.

Detailed explanation-3: -Outer & Inner Membranes Immediately after the shell are two membranes, the outer membrane and the inner membrane. These membranes guard the embryo from bacterial invasions and rapid moisture loss.

Detailed explanation-4: -Eggshell Membrane is the thin membrane on the inside of an eggshell. Its prime constituent is protein and it has a two layered, reticulated structures.

Detailed explanation-5: -inner shell membrane-the thin membrane located between the outer shell membrane and the albumin.
