What are the bones in wing called?
The Wing
- The bird wing skeleton consists of a single bone or humerus which articulates with two forearm bones: the radius and ulna.
- These in turn, support the hand (wrist - carpus/metacarpus- and digits/phalanges-) which bear the flight feathers.
- In most species the carpus and metacarpus fuse into a single carpometacarpus.
