How does a chicken wing compare to a human arm
A chicken wing relates to the human arm because they share bunch of similarities including structures, and systems. While conducting research, I found similarities in bone structure. I found that a chicken has an ulna, radius, and a humorous. There also connected in the same way and act kind of in the same way. The scientific principle that reinforces the claim is, bone cells make up bone tissue which make up bones. In relations to the dissection, the chicken has muscles and tendons also relating to humans. The chicken also uses the muscles to move relating to humans. Muscles and tendons are both made up of their own cells, making the tissue creating the tissues form. For instance, ligament and
Students and researchers can learn a lot from observing the mink; unexpectedly I was able to find many similarities between the mink and a human. Humans and Minks are very close in class, which explains their similarities in anatomy. Indeed although these two organisms have a lot in common there are major differences amongst these similarities. The similarities are due to the fact that both humans and the mink are mammals. The differences are due to the differences in environment, habits, size etc... One example is the fact that minks and humans both have lugs of similar shape but different lobes. Each of these similarities and/or differences benefit both the human and the mink, in their own unique way, with each structure having its own function. Overall the mink is a very complex animal and so is an individual.
The Simpsons episode “The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror II” is about a magical monkey’s paw bought by the Simpsons, a modern day family that lives in a town called Springfield. The family uses the paw to grant themselves four wishes. The wishes, they soon find out, all include repercussions that harm the family in some way. The book “The Monkey’s Paw” is about a family that is given a monkey’s paw by a friend that says it can grant three wishes. The family’s home in this story is Laburnum Villa, sometime in the past. At first the family is skeptical of the friends claim that the paw is magic saying, “If the tale about the monkey’s paw is not more truthful than those he has been telling us, we shan't make much out of it.”(Page 4, W.W. Jacobs). They then proceed to use the paw and are surprised to find that what they wish for is in fact granted but comes with terrible consequences. While “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Simpsons, Treehouse of Horror II” both share similar plots, the settings of the stories and the
There is common plan for all limbs: one bone, followed by two bones, then a bunch of little bones, and finally digits. This array of bones is seen in many species including, but not restricted to bats, whales, and lizards. But how do these limbs develop and why do they all look similar? Shubin explains it by conveying that there are certain genetic switches that help assemble who we are. When scientists went looking for this genetic switch in limbs, they found a couple tissue areas in the limbs that allow this body plan to occur. “A strip of tissue at the extreme end of the limb bud is essential for all limb development…This patch of tissue was named the zone of polarizing activity (ZPA).” ZPA allows humans to have opposable thumbs and pinkies. In other organisms, it differentiates the “thumb” side from the “pinky” side. Scientists then wanted to discover the molecule that allowed this changen in the ZPA, the answer is Sonic hedgehog. Shubin points out that every limbed animal h...
The skeletal system is an anatomical body system which consists of all the bones and joints in our bodies. In total, an adult body entails 206 distinct bones, arranged in the axial skeleton (80) and the appendicular skeleton (126). The latter division has bones in the limbs, pelvic girdle and the shoulder girdle, whilst the rest of the bones belong to the axial division. It’s a very important system therefore it has a few main functions. The most obvious is that it gives the body its rigid shape, which makes it relevant to other body functions like breathing, which is helped by the rib cage expanding to accommodate the movement of the lungs. Other functions include support to ensure that organs
Fluids drain from the carcass before moving on to the rubber fingers. The array of fingers makes quick work of removing the feathers, leaving the bird bare. Finally, the bird’s innards are removed in what is a mostly mechanical process. Machines then spray an antimicrobial rinse on the chickens before food safety inspectors check each bird for broken bones, abrasions and bacterial infections. To ensure food safety, every day, workers thoroughly sanitize the entire processing facility with hot water and food safe cleaning agents. The poultry leaves the first facility resembling the oven-ready bird that is familiar to most U.S.
With Particular Reference to the Relationships Between Men and Women, Compare and Contrast the Two Short Stories Turned and The Withered Arm. The two short stories by Thomas Hardy and Charlotte Perkins Gilman both share similarities in plot, characters and the relationships held by men and women. They both show, in a cyclical structure, the betrayal of men and the jealously held between people, although Gilman takes a more feminist view, largely due to the difference in era of the two short stories. They simultaneously show the strengths and weaknesses of women without men and the role which men have upon their lives. Hardy's era leads him to incorporate ideas of witchcraft and the paranormal and crime also proceeds the beginning of each story with two women becoming illegitimately pregnant.
According to National Geographic, scientists have sequenced the genome factor of the chimpanzee and found that humans are 98.5% similar to the ape species. The chimpanzee is our closest relative in the animal kingdom; however, some people are not aware of our resembling traits with chimpanzees. Jane Goodall’s, In the Shadow of Man, describes some similar traits humans and chimpanzees have such as their facial expressions and emotions, use of tools, and diet.
As you can see by the diagram, the muscles cover the entire body as does the integumentary system. They are responsible for movement. They are attached to the bones (skeletal system) and there are nearly 700 different ones. Each is made up of the muscle tissue, blood vessels, tendons and nerves. Each has a specific purpose. For example, the leg muscles assist in moving and bending the legs. The muscles make up nearly half of a person’s total body weight.
The human body is made up of 12 different systems. Each system has a separate function while some do work together. One system is called skeletal system which is to serve as a support the body, mineral storage, energy storage (fat), blood cell production, movement (leverage), and protect the internal organs. (Martini, 112). With the help of the muscular system, it keeps us moving and makes us to do tasks that we don’t think about like swinging the arms while running. The average adult skeleton has 206 bones that are joined together by ligaments (bone to bone) and tendons (muscles to bone) to make a protective framework for the tissues and muscles. The vital organs are also protected by the skeleton, brain is covered with skull just like heart
Skeletal and smooth muscle cells show a number of similarities however they also display many differences. These similarities and differences can be seen through observing the structure and appearance of these cells, their control mechanisms and the ways in which they contract.
A chicken wing does in fact, compare to a human arm in a variety of ways. To begin, a major similarity between the human arm and the chicken wing, is the bone structure. From the research we did in our dissection, and the image on google classroom, the humerus, the radius, and the ulna are the three bones that form the major bone structure of the chicken wing, and the human arm. Furthermore, two specific muscles in the human arm and the chicken wing are shared. The research from our dissection notes helped us notice that these two muscles are the flexor, and the extensor, the flexor is the muscle that makes your arm flex, by pulling in, and the extensor is the muscle that makes your arm stretch out to the full length. Finally, the nerves are
The origin of birds is one of the great mysteries in biology. Birds are dramatically different from all other living creatures. Feathers, toothless beaks, hollow bones, perching feet, wishbones, deep breastbones, and stump-like tailbones are only part of the combination of features that no other living animal has in common with them (Padian and Chiappe 1998).
It is like a bone however, the bone is more rigid. It allows some movement as well as providing stability which is better than the actual muscle. The material with a specialised structure is created by cells, which are called Chondroplasty. This is also important as it helps movement and reduce friction. There’s a large about of flexibility in the tissue as they are elastic fibre which, give a large amount of strength.
The skeletal system is composed of two hundred and six bones in the human body. Functions such as the tendons, cartilage, and ligaments connect the bones and tissues together. Bone tissues make up about 18% of the weight of the human body. There are two types of tissue inside the bones. They consist of; compact bone and spongy bone. First, compact bone depicts the main shaft of long bones in the human body such as the arms and legs. Its tissue is dense and hard and it also makes up the outer layer of most bones in our body. Meanwhile, spongy bone tissue is made up of smaller plates occupied with red bone marrow. Mostly, it is found at the ends of long bones such as the head of the femur.
Through time, there has been a significant decrease in the number of bones through fusion, or loss of individual bones (“Evolution of Birds”). The loss in these bones result in a “hollow construction of the skeleton,” as well as a reduction in the availability movable joints. Though this seems like it should not benefit the bird, it is actually better adapted as a framework of a “flying machine.” The clavicle of birds is used and near it is a keeled sternum that the flight muscles attach to. The skull of a bird is lightweight and mostly composed of the protein keratin. Without teeth present, the jaw has also become light weight, all aiding in its ability to achieve the best possible flight. The changing in structure of the physical bird and functions of each their bones have aided in their diversification and ability to thrive as the modern bird that we know
