CLAVICLE
STRUCTURE :
Collar bone , beauty bone.
' S ' shaped bone
Connect : upper limb and
trunk
Long bone situated
horizontally
No bone marrow ( medullary
cavity )
Consists of spongy bone.

Shell of compact bone.

 Functions
1. SCAPULOTHORACIC JOINT

 in thoracic wall
 allows the scapula to move

2. CERVICO - AXILLARY CANAL

 passage way : neck CAC arm

 Protection to : neuro vascular bundle
( supplying the upper limb )

3. TRANSMITS SHOCKS

upper limb to axillary skeleton

DID YOU KNOW ?
The clavicle bones are the first bones to start
ossification during development of the embryo….

And one of the last ones to stop growing when are

age 21 to 25 years old.
