Detailed explanation-1: -The collarbones connect the breastbone to the shoulder blades. Also called clavicle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Collar bone, also known as the clavicle, is a thin S-shaped bone that is present between the breastbone and shoulder blade. It is almost 6 inches long and is the only bone that lies horizontally in our body.

Detailed explanation-3: -It receives its name from Latin clavicula ‘little key’ because the bone rotates along its axis like a key when the shoulder is abducted. The clavicle is the most commonly fractured bone. It can easily be fractured by impacts to the shoulder from the force of falling on outstretched arms or by a direct hit.

Detailed explanation-4: -The bones that connect the upper extremity to the trunk are the clavicle, or collar bone, and the scapula, or shoulder blade. The parts of them that we can feel beneath beneath the skin can be seen in this dissection: here’s the spine of the scapula, here’s the clavicle.

Detailed explanation-5: -The clavicle, or collarbone, is also referred to as “beauty bone” because of its prominent body location.
