Chicken Wing Dissection

Recently, my science class dissected a chicken wing to study the different types of tissue in organisms. Though we may seem like completely different species, we all have the same basic tissues in our arms. For example, we both have biceps and triceps, the muscles that control the movement of the arm, or wing. Also, we both have skin, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. In addition, when all of these tissues had been removed, you can see that both the chicken and and the human have an ulna, radius, and humerus. These are the bones of the arm. I know some people might have thought this was disgusting, but it is the food we consume in our bodies and I found the dissection quite helpful in learning about our bodies. This is because our build and a chicken's build are quite similar to each other.
