Students have asked these similar questions
Compare the bat to the bird. Where is the bat's ulna? Are there any remnants of it? How is the bat's wing membrane supported by its skeleton? Be precise. Does a bird's wing work in the same way? How many metacarpals and digits ("fingers") does it have? (This is all just one question on comparing the bat to the bird)
1. In terms of the differences between the opossum, bird, bat, and mole skeletons which you
examined, which is most like the human (and therefore, most primitive or generalized) ?
2. Which is least like the human and, therefore, the most specialized ?
3. Most anatomists consider bats more specialized than moles; but what important differences
can you see between the mole's forelimbs and that of humans? Why is the front limb of the
mole so specialized? Can you identify: the humerus, clavicle, and scapula in the mole?
4. Compare the bat to the bird. Identify the humerus in each. Where is the bat's ulna? Are
there any remnants of it? How is the bat's wing membrane supported by its skeleton? Be
precise. (You may wish to examine a preserved bat on the display table.) Does a bird's wing
work in the same way? Examine the feathered bird's wing on the display table. What has
happened to the bird's hand? How many metacarpals and digits ("fingers") does it have?
