1. Which tissue of the chicken wing is commonly referred to as the meat? 2. Use the results of your observations to explain the roles of muscles, tendons, bones, ligaments, cartilage, and joints in the back-and-forth movement of the lower chicken wing.

Answer 1) Muscle

Answer 2) The

muscles are the main form of

movement within the wing, extending

and contracting the wing . Muscles

also initiate body movements, and,

being attached to the bones by the

tendons Tendons move the wing up and

down, allowing for flight and vertical

movements. Tendons connect bone to

muscles. Without tendons, muscles and

bones are independent from each other,

so by connecting muscles and bones the

bone moves as well. Once the bone and

muscle have the ability to move together,

the body itself can thus be moved in

different ways. Muscles surrounding

the bone are actually the tissue of the

chicken wing that is commonly referred

to as the meat. Joints connect the

bones together and creates flexibility of

the movement being controlled by the

muscles and tendons.

Hope it helps!
