The upper arm is formed by one long bone, the ______________________.

• humerus

• femur

• radius

• ulna

Identify the order in which the dissection manual guides you to study the chicken wing:

• Comparative anatomy; identification of chicken wing structure.

• Structure of the human upper appendage; identify the muscular anatomy.

• Structure of the human upper appendage; identify anatomy of the bones.

• Collect observational data and complete analysis questions.

• Identify the materials and methodology of "wet work" to complete the dissection.
