What's the difference between episternum and manubrium?
Episternum
Definition:
(n.) A median bone connected with the sternum, in many vertebrates; the interclavicle.
(n.) Same as Epiplastron.
(n.) One of the lateral pieces next to the sternum in the thorax of insects.
Example Sentences:
(1) The muscle consists of three parts: the upper bundle, which originates on the episternum, and the middle and lower bundles, which originate on the epimeron; all three parts insert on the tip of a projection from the third axillary sclerite.
Manubrium
Definition:
(n.) A handlelike process or part; esp., the anterior segment of the sternum, or presternum, and the handlelike process of the malleus.
(n.) The proboscis of a jellyfish; -- called also hypostoma. See Illust. of Hydromedusa.
Example Sentences:

(2) The L-glucose treatment did not produce changes in maternal blood D-glucose levels but did produce fetuses with small urinary bladders, microphthalmia and abnormal ossification limited to the manubrium.
(3) The authors hypothesize that aortic isthmus lacerations result from a pinch of the aorta between the spine and the anterior bony thorax (manubrium, clavicle, and first ribs) during chest compression caused by abrupt deceleration.
(4) Authors describe their own experience of Sundaresan anterior approach and exposure of the upper thoracic vertebrae (T1-T2) including resection of the internal third of the clavicle and manubrium sterni.
(5) It consists of connective tissue and is not integrated into the manubrium.
(6) In the present clinical study, laser Doppler flowmetry was adapted to identify changes in blood supply to the left half of the divided manubrium sternum during separation of the left internal mammary artery from its chest wall attachment.
(7) The area of the thoracic inlet below the clavicle was defined as a radiolucent area surrounded superiorly by the lower border of the clavicle, inferiorly by the inner margin of the first rib and medially by the lateral margin of the manubrium (CRM area).
(8) The use of the sternal manubrium as zero reference point did not allow comparison of values in standing and recumbent animals and it was considered that serial measurements were of more value than isolated determinations in assessing the circulatory state of an animal.
(9) Of these patients, three had osteomyelitis of the manubrium and sternum, two had osteosarcoma of the sternum, and one had osteomyelitis and radionecrosis of the manubrium and sternum.
(10) All catheters were tunnelled from the point of insertion to the midpoint of the manubrium or upper sternum.
(11) We studied the usefulness of the olecranon-manubrium percussion (OMP) test, a physical diagnostic procedure performed in shoulder trauma.
(12) This case presents several particularities: semi-emergency salvage procedure, use of a saphenous vein graft to revascularise the intestinal artery using the lingual artery as nutrient artery, venous drainage of the transplant via the intrathoracic left brachiocephalic vein, necessity for resection of the left half of the manubrium sterni and the head of the left clavicle.
(13) In addition to the sternal bands, the "paired suprasternal Anlage" takes part in the shaping of the manubrium sterni as reported by Klima (1968) for other mammals.
(14) Oligohydramnios led, within 48 hours, to significant reductions in the transverse dimension (5.9-6.1%) and in the distance between the manubrium and the dome of the diaphragm (1.7-2.2%).
(15) The thickness of the manubrium, the width and thickness of the body of the sternum at the level of second intercostal space as well as the thickness of the spongiosa and outer and inner compact layers have been measured in 67 human cadavers.
(16) In this paper, a more realistic model of the manubrium is incorporated into an existing finite-element model of the cat eardrum.
(17) The anterior part of the manubrium is surrounded by a polaroplast consisting of a "spongy" (vesicular) and a lamellar zone.
(18) On the basis of our findings, we conclude that surgical removal of the sternum and manubrium in conjunction with muscle flap repair is a well-tolerated procedure.
(19) Similarly, the manubrium would move posteriorly in manubriosternal dislocations.
(20) Finger to floor distance and chin manubrium distance improved significantly for at least six months (p less than 0.05).
