Which of the following describes the clavicle?

Answer

The correct answer is 'Provides attachments for back, chest & upper limb'. The clavicle, also known as the collarbone, is a long bone that serves as a strut between the shoulder blade (scapula) and the breastbone (sternum). It is part of the pectoral girdle (appendicular skeleton), not the axial skeleton or vertebral column. It functions as a site for muscle attachments for the back (trapezius), chest (pectoralis major), and upper limb (deltoid) and plays a key role in connecting the upper limb to the trunk.
