Tendon of wing

The tendon is the material that the blunt probe is lifting up. The tendon attaches muscle to bone.

Chicken wing has a radius, ulna, and humerus like that of a human arm. If you look at the picture of the whole chicken wing, you can tell where their humerus begins. If you go distal from there, the same anatomical structure(s) of the human arm are present in the chicken wing. They also have very similar hand bones like that of a human. Same is true for many of the soft tissues in a chicken wing to a human arm. The distal end of a chicken wing does not have the projection of an opposable thumb like a human, however. You can see this is very apparent in the picture of the chicken wing on the distal end; there is no thumb projection.

Muscle

Once the skin is pulled back this is what you see. The fat protects the chicken and helps with temperature. The muscle helps with protection also and movement. The tendon connects muscle to bone.

The blue circle represents the articular cartilage which represents the glossy part on the bone.

The bicep in the chicken wing is always very similar to the bicep in a human

being. Both muscles have a smooth looking glossy surface as you can see in image 5. They both have similar coloring to

the muscle and they both work the same. You can also see in Image 1 that the glossy part of the bone is the articular

cartilage which keeps the bones from rubbing together, which would be extremely painful.
