What can chicken wings tell us about human anatomy? Learn how to dissect a chicken wing in this video, which covers the external and internal anatomy and physiology. The chicken wing is a great way to learn about a lot of different types of tissues, and how they work together!
The chicken wing is also really helpful in learning human anatomy because many of its structures are homologous to humans, such as the bones. Also, did you know that most of your fat is stored underneath your skin? In this video, you’ll learn general information about different tissue types, and how they work with each other to create motion.
This dissection lab is for anyone who is curious about chicken wing anatomy, wants to cover chicken wing anatomy for a course, missed the chicken wing dissection during biology class, or just wondered, “How does my arm move?”. The video will teach you how to dissect a chicken wing step by step, and review the external and internal anatomy of the chicken wing.
In this video, we’ll cover the following structures:
Upper wing Tendons
Lower wing Blood vessels
Wingtip Nerves
Alula (thumb) Humerus
Skin Radius
Fatty tissue Ulna
Subcutaneous fat Ligaments
Muscles Cartilage
Flexor muscle Bone
Extensor muscle Bone marrow
