The bird's wing has a fairly rigid bone structure, and the main flying muscles move the bones at the point where the wing connects to the body. A bat has a much more flexible wing structure. It is very much like a human arm and hand, except it has a thin membrane of skin (called the patagium) extending between the "hand" and the body, and between each finger bone. Bats can move the wing like a hand, essentially "swimming" through the air. The "thumb" extends out of the wing as a small claw, which bats use to climb up trees and other structures. This helps them reach a high "launching point" for flight takeoff. Appropriately, the order of bats is called Chiroptera, Greek for "hand-wing."

∙ 11y agoThey are homologues, meaning that they arise from the same structure, presumably the bony fin of some ancient fish. There's a distinction between homologues (or homologs) which have the same ancestry and analogs, which perform the same function. Some structures are both. Birds' wings and bats' wings are both homologous and analogous. Birds' wings and bees' wings are analogous but not homologous and bird's wings and elephants' front legs are homologous, but not analogous.

How can a bats wing be considered a homologous structure and an analogous?
They are homologous in the sense that all tetrapods share that forelimb structure. They are analogous because both bats and birds adapted flight to their local environmental conditions. One being a mammal, that has the finger extension type wing and one being aves with the full forelimb extending the wing. They have the flight in common, but not the structures, so are analogous. They have an ancestral condition leading to the similarity of forelimb structure and so are homologous.
Are the muscles of a chickens wing antagonistic?
The muscles of a chickens wing are antagonistic. Antagonistic muscles are the ones that oppose a specific type of movement.
What bone in the wing is connected to the chickens body at the shoulder?
Humerus
Why does a chicken wing have bumps all over the skin?
Chicken wing bumps are formed on the skin. Chickens do not have a lot of skin cells so the bumps form as a result.
Show me a Picture on how to clip a chicken wing?
Why would you want to?? Most chickens are kept in a coop, with a fenced-in yard attached, so you don't have to worry about them flying away. ~ I agree with the above answer, though some people have chickens kept in a pen in which the chicken can fly over. Also, some like to let their chickens out, and don't want them flying or jumping everywhere (like our chickens). The best way to clip a chicken wing, is to cut the feathers on the outside of the wing level to those on the inside. If you still wanted the picture, I found a good one here (see below). I own a lot of chickens, and other poultry, and this method can also be used on poultry and birds like budgies, and guinea fowls.
What does a bird have for a forelimb?
A bird has a wing as a forelimb as well as a bat, and the function of both are to help the animals fly
Is the human forelimb a homologous structure?
yes its homologous to a bats wing

How are chickens dressed?
My chickens prefer the sparkly fancy dress, sequins and bow ties, long wing and chicken neck sweaters in the winter, that sort of thing.
