Examples of manubrium in the following topics:
-
- The manubrium is the most superior region
of the sternum and articulates with the clavicles or collarbones and the first
pair of ribs.
- The manubrium is the thickest portion of the sternum as it
carries the greatest physical load.
- Located below the manubrium, the gladiolus
is the longest portion of the sternum and articulates with the ribs, either
directly or indirectly, through the costal cartilage
-
- Medially the clavicle is quadrangular in
shape and articulates with the manubrium of the sternum forming the
sternoclavicular joint.
-
- The medial end connects with the manubrium of the sternum and gives attachments to the fibrous capsule of the sternoclavicular joint, articular disc, and interclavicular ligament.
-
- The joint between the manubrium and the sternum is an example of a cartilaginous joint.
-
- Symphyses
are found between the manubrium and sternum (manubriosternal joint), intervertebral discs, and the pubic symphysis.
-
- The more prominent symphyses are the pubic symphysis; the symphyses between the bones of the skull, most notably the mandible (symphysis menti); sacrococcygeal symphysis; the intervertebral disc between two vertebrae; and in the sternum, between the manubrium and body, and between the body and xiphoid process.
