In the human skeleton, clavicle (collar) bone is laterally and medially articulated with
Correct answer: A. Outer end of the shoulder blade, Sternum
- A. Outer end of the shoulder blade, Sternum
- B. Humerus, Sternum
- C. Outer end of shoulder blade, ribs
- D. Humerus, ribs
Explanation
The clavicle, also known as the collarbone, is a long bone that serves as a strut between the shoulder blade and the sternum. Laterally, it articulates with the acromion of the scapula (outer end of the shoulder blade), and medially, it articulates with the manubrium of the sternum. This arrangement helps stabilize the shoulder. The other options are incorrect as they either describe articulations that do not involve the clavicle or suggest connections to parts not directly associated with the clavicle's articulations.

About Human Skeleton
The human skeleton provides support, protects organs, enables movement with muscles and stores minerals while bone marrow produces blood cells. Questions cover the axial and appendicular skeleton, types of bones and joints, cartilage, ligaments and tendons, and the difference between fixed, slightly movable and freely movable joints.
