Clavicle
Ribs 11 and 12 do not attach anteriorly to the sternum.
Yes, the clavicle articulates with the sternum at the sternoclavicular joint, forming the only direct connection between the axial skeleton and the pectoral girdle.
The bones that articulate with the clavicle are the manubrium of the sternal end, and the acromion of the scapula.
The manubrium is the superior portion of the sternum and what articulates with the clavicles.
The sternum.
The sternum, or breastbone, protects the heart anteriorly. It serves as a shield for the heart against external forces to the chest.
The clavicle is the shoulder girdle bone that articulates with and transmits forces to the bony thorax. It acts as a strut connecting the scapula to the sternum, allowing for movement and stability of the shoulder joint, as well as helping to transfer forces from the upper limb to the axial skeleton.
the medial end articulates with the sternum and the distal end articulates with the humerus and scapula.
Yes, it does.
sternum
The clavicle. This bone is normally not consideredto be part of the shoulder an instead a part of the thorax, which is also true. The reason it is part of the shoulder is that it joint part of the scapula to form the soked of the glenohumeral joint.
The lateral third has two surfaces, an upper and a lower; and two borders, an anterior and a posterior.
