Chicken Disection Analysis
In this Lab we dissected a chicken and we will be locating the main muscles. We began by removing the skin from the chest. We found the pectoralis major and the pectoralis minor which is right under it. Next we removed the skin on its back and found the trapezius and latissimus dorsi. Next we Removed the skin on the chickens wings and found the deltoid, biceps brachii and the triceps humeralis. We also found the flexor carpi ulnaris and the brachiordialis. Next we removed the skin on the chickens thigh and found the sartorius, iliotibialis, semimembranosus, semitendinous, quadriceps, and the gastrocnemius. We also found the preens longs and the tibias anterior. The pectoralis major helps pull the wing ventrally and the pectoralis minor lifts the wing dorsally. The trapezius helps shrug the shoulders and the latissimus dorsi extends or pulls the wing. The deltoid helps raise the upper wing, the biceps brachii helps bend the wing, and the triceps humeralis extends the wing. The flexor carpi unlearns flexes the hand, and the brachiordialis helps pull the hand back. The sartorius flexes the thigh, the iliotibialis extends the thigh, the biceps femurs flexes the leg and the semimembranosus extends the thigh also. Semitendinosis extends the thigh, quadriceps femurs extends the lower left, and the gastrocnemius is used for standing on your toes. The preens longs extends the foot and the tibias anterior flexes the foot. The biceps brachii is an example of an origin, and origins are the attachment site of the muscles tendon to a stationary bone. Insertion is the attachment site of a tendon to a moveable bone. There are a lot of muscles in the chicken that are pretty similar to the muscles we have. For example the deltoid what is on the center top of the shoulder of the chicken and of humans which helps to raise your upper arm or in chickens their wing. The trapezius is muscles that run perpendicular from the backbone to the shoulder of the bird and pull the shoulder back, but in humans they're split into two parts. The triceps humeralis is the muscle on the inferior side of the upper wing or arm in birds and humans, and it extends the arm or in chickens the wing.
