Best Answer

The collar bone is often known as the clavicle. It is part of the shoulder, and can be felt running across the top-front of that area, going from the top of the sternum to the shoulder muscle. It is the most commonly broken bone (because of the ease of doing so) in the human body. Additional information can be found at the related links.

Like most bones, your collar bones are there to support other structures in your body, like musculature and organ support and protection. i would encourage you to put your hand on your collar bone and feel around the bone as you move different directions and move your arms, just so you can feel how the bones move around with the musculature.

and collar bones are always great for holding up your collar.

In human anatomy, the clavicle or collar bone is a small bone that serves as a strut between the scapula and the sternum. The clavicle makes up part of the shoulder girdle (pectoral girdle).This arrangement keeps the upper limb (arm) away from the thorax so that the arm has maximum range of movement.

The clavicle has several functions but two are more important: it allows the scapula to move freely on the thoracic wall due to the way in which it acts as a rigid support for the scapula and the arm. This gives the arm a higher range of movement. And it protects the neurovascular bundle that supplies the upper limb.
