**Question A:** Identify the bone seen here which is in anatomical position.

**Question B:** Which two bones does it articulate with at its medial and lateral ends?

**Description of Image:**
The image shows a horizontally placed, slender curved bone on a purple background.

---

**Explanation:**
The bone displayed in the image is long, horizontally placed, and curved, typically indicative of a clavicle. 

### Anatomical Position and Articulations of the Clavicle
- **Medial End**: The clavicle articulates with the sternum (specifically the manubrium) at the sternoclavicular joint.
- **Lateral End**: The clavicle articulates with the scapula (acromion) at the acromioclavicular joint.

By understanding these connections, one gains insight into the role of the clavicle in providing structural support and facilitating a wide range of shoulder movements.

---

This section is designed to aid in the learning and identification of anatomical structures and their relationships, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of human anatomy.

**Important Note for Students:**
Pay attention to the shape and positioning of the bones while studying skeletal anatomy as it greatly aids in identification and understanding of their functional roles and articulations within the human body.
