Clavicle (L., claicula, little key)
Definition
connects the pectoral girdle and the axial skeleton. Each clavicle originates at the craniolateral border of the manubrium of the sternum, lateral to the jugular notch. Sternal end, the clavical curves in an S- shape laterally and dorsally until it articulates with the acromion of the scapula.

Definition
a sharp curvature formed at the junction of the superior and medial margins; serves as an attachment point for the levator scapula muscle.
