The clavicles lie partially and anteriorly over the first rib but only slightly over the second.
Explanation:
It can depend on whether your view is at eye level with the skull if you can see the exact relationship with the ribs.
The clavicle articulates at the sternoclavicular (sternum) joint and at the acromioclavicular (scapula) joint.
