Axial, appendicular, joint,
I can label a skeleton giving details about types of bone, joints, movements and function.
Frist of all lets discuss what you know already. Look through the rest of unit one and discuss what you already
know.
Now let’s listen to some music. You need to learn all the words to this song until it drives you crazy!
Also, here’s an excellent video that will give you a good foundation of knowledge for the units ahead.

Chicken Wing Dissection
How do the muscles, bones, and tendons work together to move a joint of a
chicken wing and how do they compare to a human arm?
Although many differences exist between the anatomy of humans and
chickens, one structure that shows similarities in muscle pairing and range of
motion is a bird’s wing. In this activity you will study chicken wing structure
and function, which is comparable to that of the human arm.
