Chicken Wing Dissection
Aim: To examine the way muscles and bone work together by dissecting a chicken wing.
Equipment:
Dissecting board
Dissecting scissors
Scalpel
Blunt probe
Pins
Forceps
Newspaper
Method:
1. Put the chicken wing on the dissecting board as shown in the photograph below. Use the
scissors to cut the skin down the length of the wing.
2. Pin the skin back and look at the exposed muscle.
 Is there fat? (white jelly like substance) What is there fat for?

What does the muscle look like?

Is there anything else you can see?
3. Use the scalpel to cut the muscle away from the bone down the length of the upper wing.
4. Pin back the tissue to expose the bone and other structures. The photograph above shows the
main tissues. (ligament, cartilage, muscle, tendon).
 Find those tissues on your chicken wing.
5. At the end of the muscle you should be able to see a shiny white tissue.
 What is its name? _________________________
 What does this part of the joint do? ________________________
6. Take off as much of the muscle as you can so you can see the joint. You should be able to see
another white shiny tissue.
 What is its’ name? _____________________
 What does this tissue do? ___________________________________
7. Using the scalpel separate the two bones at the joint. You should be able to see a white
slippery tissue between the bones.
 What is its’ name? _______________________
