collarbone

The word 'clavícula' refers to the collarbone, a long, slender bone located in the upper part of the chest that connects the arm to the body. It plays a crucial role in supporting the shoulder and allowing for a range of motion in the arm. The clavicle also serves as an attachment point for muscles and provides structural integrity to the shoulder girdle. It is positioned between the sternum (breastbone) and the scapula (shoulder blade), forming part of the skeletal framework that enables various upper body movements.
