5. When eating chicken wings, what tissue is often consumed as “meat”?
6. Describe the various similarities and differences between the chicken wing and the human arm.
7. Based on your observations, explain the roles of bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, and cartilage
in the movement of the chicken wing.
8. Are there any other organisms that would provide a better model of a human joint/limb than a chicken
wing? Explain/describe.
