Physics of the Hen's Egg : II. The Bursting Strength of the Vitelline Membrane

T. MORAN

The average bursting strength of the vitelline membrane in new-laid eggs is approximately 4500 dynes/cm. On storage the membrane weakens but becomes more elastic.

The hatching enzyme in the hen's egg appears after about 40 hours' incubation.
