- Thin innermost membranous sac enclosing the developing embryo of higher vertebrates (reptiles, birds and mammals)
- (amnionic) amniotic: of or related to the amnion or characterized by developing an amnion; "amniotic membrane"
- The amnion is a membrane that closely covers the embryo when first formed. It fills with the amniotic fluid which causes the amnion to expand and become the amniotic sac which serves to provide a protective environment for the developing embryo. It is a feature of the amniotes which includes reptiles, birds, and mammals. Amphibians and fish are excluded from this group...
- The Amnion (singular, Amnioni) are a fictional alien species in Stephen R. Donaldson's The Gap Cycle. They are shown to be the only alien race humanity has made contact with and play a major role in the series from Forbidden Knowledge onwards.
- The innermost membrane of the fetal membranes of reptiles, birds, and mammals; the sac in which the embryo is suspended
- A thin, membranous, fluid-filled sac surrounding an embryo (as inside bird or reptile eggs, or in mammals) which keeps the embryo from drying out.
- Thin membrane that surrounds the fetus before pregnancy and contains the amniotic fluid
- The membrane and cavity that encloses the developing embryo and fetus in fluid (essential for all vertebrates that reproduce out of the sea), cushioning the embryo and fetus from the effects of pressure. Unlike the chorion, contains cells that originate from the fetus itself.
- The avascular inner "shell" of the conceptus, embryologically continuous with the epithelium of the umbilical cord and the fetal skin. It forms the transparent membranous sac that is filled with amniotic fluid
