Clavicle

STRUCTURE & FUNCTION

Understand what you see.

Acts as a strut holding the upper limb away from the trunk.

Zoom into the original labels. Practise pointing out each structure, then explain it aloud. Diagrams are teaching references; specimen appearance and slide staining vary.

01 / IDENTIFICATION

How to recognise it.

  1. An S-shaped horizontal long bone
  2. Bulky medial end meets the sternum; flattened lateral end meets the acromion
  3. Conoid tubercle lies on the inferior lateral surface
02 / KEY STRUCTURES

Point them out.

Tap a number to open its reference, zoom in and locate the structure. Numbers stay the same across views. This key follows landmarks visible in the reference images.

03 / VIVA PRACTICE

Think first. Then reveal.

Say your answer aloud before opening the suggested response.

01How would you identify clavicle?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

An S-shaped horizontal long bone. Bulky medial end meets the sternum; flattened lateral end meets the acromion. Conoid tubercle lies on the inferior lateral surface.

02How do you orient a clavicle?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

Place the smooth surface superiorly, the flattened end laterally and the rough conoid tubercle inferiorly near the lateral end.
