What does AMNION mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
The thin, fluid-filled membrane that surrounds and protects a developing embryo inside the womb.
The amnion forms a sealed sac around the embryo, holding the amniotic fluid that cushions it against pressure and sudden movement. This membrane develops early in pregnancy and grows along with the embryo, eventually forming part of what is commonly called the bag of waters. Doctors and biologists study the amnion closely because its condition can signal problems with a pregnancy.
