Which bone is the collarbone?

The collarbone is the clavicle, the slender bone that forms the front part of the shoulder girdle. It runs horizontally from the center of the chest (the sternum) to the shoulder blade (the scapula), acting as a strut that keeps the shoulder away from the rib cage and helps with arm movement. The other bones have different locations: the scapula is the shoulder blade on the back, the humerus is the upper arm bone, and the radius is one of the forearm bones.
