Plasma membrane proteins perform a variety of functions: they act preferentially on transport mechanisms, organizing true tunnels that allow substances to pass into and out of the cell, function as membrane receptors, and receive signals from substances that carry some message to the cell, favor adhesion of adjacent cells in a tissue, serve as anchor point for the cytoskeleton.

Embryonic attachments are structures that derive from the germinal leaflets of the embryo but are not part of the embryo's body. Embryonic appendages are: vitelline vesicle (vitelline sac), amnion (or amniotic sac), chorion and allantoid. Vitelline vesicle During the evolution of the animal group, the first vertebrates that emerged were fish, a group that has the only embryonic annex the vitelline vesicle.
