Observation/Results In the chicken wing there was epidermal, connective, and muscle tissue.

The chicken wings epidermal tissue was slimy, stretchy, and a dull yellow colour. The epidermal tissue included the skin on the outside of the wing; this protected the bird from microorganisms, injury and fluid loss. The connective tissue was clear or white in colour and also stretchy; this included the tendons and ligaments and helped give shape to the bird and hold its organs in place. Lastly, the muscle tissue was pinkish, squishy, and partly stretchy; the muscle tissue included the muscles and allowed the bird to fly and move. All together the wing had 6 tendons, 6 muscles, and 3 ligaments. The tissue that was not observed that is also necessary for a bird to fly was nerve tissue. In a chicken wing the cartilage, ligaments, and tendons all had a function. The cartilage acted as a cushion to the bones to allow for easy movement, the ligaments connected the bones together, and the tendons connected the bones to the muscle. If you were to compare the range of motion of a birds wing with that of a human arm, you couldnt compare the range of motion of the entire limb, and this is because the shoulder was missing. If you compared the chicken wing to a human arm the muscles, bones and joints that correspond would be biceps, triceps, the elbow, the humerus, the ulna, and the radius.
