On Thursday, our science teacher dissected a chicken wing in order to show us the types of tissues inside. She had kept a video camera on top of where she was working and hooked it up to the Smartboard. That way, the students did not have to crowd around her, instead they could see what was occurring from their seats. The teacher first showed us the skin on the chicken wing and we noticed that it was yellow-white in color and had a bumpy surface. We then realized that the skin attached to the muscle tissue in the wing. Another tissue that connected to the muscle was the fat tissue. It was a strange yellow color. The muscle was a peachy-pink color and connected to the bone of the chicken wing. The ligament of the wing was white and shiny. It also attached to joint surfaces as well as connecting to the bone. We were shown the shiny cartilage that was both white and slippery. It connected to the bone tissue, too. The nerves of the chicken wing were thin red lines that ran across the wing. They were connected to the muscle tissue. I personally feel that the muscle tissue actually moves the chicken wing because the muscle tissue is what causes movement in any organism. I felt the bone tissues role was to provide shape as well as support for the chicken wing.
