| At what thoracic vertebrae level does the manubrium lie? | level of the 3rd and 4th thoracic vertebrae |
| What is the name of the upper border of the manubrium? | Jugular (suprasternal) notch |
| What bones does the manubrium articulate with? | Clavicles, the first and upper part of the 2nd rib, the body of the sternum, and the 2nd rib. |
| What is the articulation between the manubrium and the sternal body called? | Manubriosternal joint or the sternal angle of Louis |
| What are the thoracic vertebral levels of the body of the sternum? | 5 through 9 |
