The proximal (sternal) end of clavicle can be recognized because it is very blunt.  The inferior side is recognized by the fact the distal end has a concavity that faces downward while the superior side is smooth.  It articulates with the manubrium and lies superficial to rib 1.  Improved photos were donated by Paula S. (fall 2007).  Thank you so much Paula!
