- (sternal) of or relating to or near the sternum
- The sternum or breastbone is a long flat bone shaped like a necktie located in the center of the chest. It connects to the ribs via cartilage, forming the front of the rib cage, and thus helps to protect the heart, lungs,and major blood vessels from injury. The sternum consists of three regions: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid process.
- The sternum (pl. "sterna") is the ventral portion of a segment of an arthropod thorax or abdomen.
- The breastbone
- The posterior (and larger) of the two major structures that cover the ventral side of the cephalothorax (the other, smaller, structure is the labium).
- A ventral sclerite of the insect thorax or abdomen.
- Originally from the Greek for a word meaning breast or breastplate and which also gave us "stethoscope". But the root goes back further to one meaning stretch and futher back meaning spread out (and gave use "structure" and quite a lot of other related words).
- The breastbone. A ventral structure of bone and cartilage with which the pectoral girdle or ribs or both articulate.
