Wing anatomy (and maybe Human-Bird anatomy later on)

Anatomy 1: Bones

(To start this off, I know the text is hard to see but it says 'carpo-metacarpus and the smaller text is Phalanx 1 and 2.)

Bones make it so that our bodies stay in place, are able to stand up, and are able to move around.

Bones make it so that the wing is able to flap and move freely (with the help of muscles, but we'll get to that later). The base is called the humerous, bottom middle is the Ulna, so on so forth.

I'm not going to spout on about stuff you won't use, so the base jist of it is that bird's wings can't really stretch much beyond what you see in the pic above thanks to a piece of skin connecting the humerous and the carpo-metacarpus together, so it's important to add a little curve instead of a straight line connecting them if you want it to look right.

Shoulder blades connect arms and wings to the body, although the shape of shoulder blade differs between species.

Not much to cover in the subject of bones; if you want a real challenge then you can try memorizing these names and the bones assigned to them, although this really isn't required.
