Dear student,
 
For its prominent location in the body, the clavicle is known as the "beauty bone." ... - It is our body's only long horizontal bone, forming the shoulder girdle with the shoulder blade. - Its position and shape give us an idea of a person's body alignment, which explains the name "beauty bone."
