Clavicula

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at the clavicle, an elongated tubular bone with a slightly s-shaped curve. It connects the sternum to the scapula and serves as an attachment point for various ligaments. The clavicle plays a crucial role in attaching the upper limb to the trunk, protecting nerves and vessels, and transferring arm power to the axial skeleton. Due to its location and function, it is prone to fractures.

How does the clavicle contribute to the mechanical protection of nerves and vessels?

Why is the clavicle one of the bones most often affected by fractures?
