The Deltoid, the Trapezius, the Pectoralis Major as well as several muscles of the throat are attached to it. Bigger muscles attached to the clavicle necessitate overall larger clavicle size which will, in return, limit flexibility of the arm. That means strength and flexibility of the arms develop inversely and that animals with larger clavicles likely have stronger pectorals and shoulders while animals with smaller clavicles are more flexible.

Can you show the sources, studies or pictures were it describe all this, please? I mean, where it mentions those specific muscles in cats and also the conclution about strength and flexibility. Reply
