ensiform

Definitions

Examples

• The seventh vertebra articulates laterally at the point at which the ensiform process is attached to the corpus of the sternum.

• We have now entered among the typical species, where every form occurs between a round and an ensiform shape.

• The manubrium is thickened and drawn inward, the ensiform process protuberant, the sternum often swelled and painful to the touch.

• The situation of the localized pain is usually at or a little below the ensiform cartilage.

• Gastralgia is more frequent than enteralgia, and the pain is located about the ensiform cartilage.
