collar bone
Neckline skeletal ridge
The collar bone is the bone connecting the breastbone to the shoulder blade, forming the front part of the shoulder.
Properly called the clavicle, it sits just below the neck and is visible in thin people.
Collar bones break easily from falls onto outstretched hands: She fractured her collar bone in the skiing accident.
