Chicken Wing Dissection Concepts

The video tutorial guides students through a hands-on activity to explore the structure and function of chicken wings and compare them to human bones. It covers the materials needed, safety precautions, and detailed dissection procedures. Students observe muscles, tendons, nerves, bones, ligaments, and cartilage, making inferences about their functions. The video concludes with a cleanup process and encourages students to answer related questions.
