clavicle bone

A paired dermal or endochondral bone that is part of the pectoral girdle. The clavicle may be in contact with the interclavicle or coracoid and forms an attachment site for pectoral musculature. [PHENOSCAPE:ad]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the clavicle bone is

A paired dermal or endochondral bone that is part of the pectoral girdle. The clavicle may be in contact with the interclavicle or coracoid and forms an attachment site for pectoral musculature. [PHENOSCAPE:ad]. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the clavicle bone is

It sits within the skeletal system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the clavicle bone connects to

The atlas records 16 typed relationships for it, across 8 kinds of connection. part of material anatomical entity and pectoral girdle skeleton.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the clavicle bone. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Questions

Where is the clavicle bone?

It sits within the skeletal system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What does the clavicle bone connect to?

Part of: material anatomical entity and pectoral girdle skeleton.

Is the clavicle bone the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
