As penas são estruturas mortas, de queratina, originadas a partir de papilas vivas da derme (origem mesodérmica). As penas ou plumas das aves são formadas de:

Cálamo - É a ponta oca que fica enterrada na pele da ave;
Raque - É a parte central o "eixo da pena";
Barbas - São os "raminhos" das penas, que estão presos à raque;
Barbulas - São as pequeninas ramificações das barbas.
