Background of Anatomy of Chicken Wing

Background Information

In a chicken wing, there are various types of tissues. The four major tissues are Epithelial, which in the chicken wing, comprise of skin. Connective tissue is also found in the chicken wing and the subtypes were bone, fibrocartilage, red bone marrow, adipose, blood/ blood vessels, and dense fibrous. For the dense fibrous, tendons and ligaments were discovered, and for the fibrocartilage, cartilage was found. Muscle tissue was found and this was with the skeletal muscle. The nerve tissue is the last of the four main tissue types. Nerves were found throughout the chicken wing. Each tissue is unique in their own way, specifically when it comes to appearance.

The skin, bone, tendons, and ligaments all add support to the body, while cartilage and adipose add a protection and act as a cushion to the different parts in a chicken’s wing. Blood vessels act as the transportation to the chicken wing. Blood is kept flowing throughout the chicken wing. Nerves are alert stations that send impulses all over the chicken’s body informing about certain information. The chicken wing skin has bumps all over it and is yellowish in color. The bone is tough and hard. Cartilage protects the bone and has a pearl color. Red bone marrow is a dark red color, and can be found toward the inside of the bone. Tendons and ligaments are similar to each other. Tendons attach muscle to bone and ligaments attach bone to bone. Muscles in the chicken wing allow for movement. Nerves are thin and help with informational signals in the body that are sent from the brain. Adipose is a yellowish creamy color and is squishy. Blood vessels are thin and transport blood to other parts of the wing and body.

Much information is given that can help with the search of these tissues in the chicken wing. Some of the tissues will be easy to find, but others with need some time and searching. Each tissue affects the chicken and its wing. A chicken would have a improper functional wing if one...
