Exempel på breastbone

• It is situated around the windpipe, behind the upper part of the breastbone. 

• The chest is a chamber with bony walls, the ribs connecting in front with the breastbone, and behind with the spine. 

• The first seven pairs, counting from the neck, are called the true ribs, and are joined by their own special cartilages directly to the breastbone. 

• The slight fracture in the breastbone had repaired itself by one of Nature's magic processes. 

• The upper cavity, or chest, is a bony enclosure formed by the breastbone, the ribs, and the spine. 

• Asphondylia websteri is distinguished from the others by the reduced number of lateral papillae on each side of the larval spatula (breastbone).

• The breastbone and ribs healed rapidly and the tuberculosis of the lungs vanished all within a week or two.

• Powerful muscles would have developed to anchor these limbs, which would have reacted upon the breastbone.

• It is inserted into the chest through a cut above the breastbone.

• The procedure begins when the surgeon makes an incision in the skin over the breastbone and divides it to expose the pericardium.

• The minimally invasive approach does not involve cutting the breastbone, but instead uses multiple incisions in the side of the chest and the leg.

• The skeleton's breastbone has also adapted into a large keel, suitable for the attachment of large, powerful flight muscles.

• One of the most abnormal findings was the sternum (breastbone) and most parts of the frontal ribs were missing.

• The female skeleton also has wider and shorter breastbone and slimmer wrists.

• Pain behind the sternum (breastbone) or in the epigastric region around the stomach often feels like heartburn.

• The keel on the breastbone, where birds attach the large muscles needed for flight, is also greatly reduced.

• These procedures do not require a median sternotomy (vertical incision in the breastbone) or cardiopulmonary bypass (heart-lung machine).

• For median sternotomy (access through the sternum, or breastbone), the patient will have a vertical scar on the anterior chest above the sternum.

• In any case it is an inflammation of the cartilage that attaches the front of the ribs to the breastbone.

• It also has an unusually shaped breastbone, distinguishing it from other birds in its suborder, the enantiornithines.
