Verified step by step guidance
1
Begin by identifying the anatomical location of the clavicle, which is a long bone that serves as a strut between the shoulder blade and the sternum.
Understand that the clavicle has two ends: the lateral end and the medial end. The lateral end connects to the acromion of the scapula.
Focus on the medial end of the clavicle, which is the end closer to the center of the body.
Recognize that the medial end of the clavicle articulates with the sternum, specifically at the manubrium, forming the sternoclavicular joint.
Review the function of the sternoclavicular joint, which allows for movement and provides stability to the shoulder girdle, facilitating the connection between the upper limb and the axial skeleton.
