Hannie, it would be so nice for the older generation (people like me) if you would use punctuation in your sentences...

Human:
The arm has three main bones: the humerus, radius and ulna.

Bat bones tend to be light and slender (which accounts in part for the sparse fossil record of bats). As in birds, bats have some reduced bones; note in
the picture below that the ulna and fibula are shortened and thin. Bats, like birds, also have fused cranial bones for additional lightness.

Like most birds and pterosaurs, bats have a keel on the sternum, or breastbone, to which the large flight muscles attach. Unlike birds and pterosaurs, in which the wing is supported by the bones of the arm and one finger, a bat's wing membrane, or patagium, is supported by the arm and by four highly elongated fingers (hence the name Chiroptera, or "hand-wing," for the bats). The patagium extends all the way around to the bat's hind legs and tail, where it forms a flap called the uropatagium, supported by specialized foot bones called calcars. Not only does the uropatagium help the bat fly and maneuver, it is often used to sweep prey, such as insects on the wing, into the bat's mouth while the bat is in flight.
