The manubrium of the sternum is the broad, disc-like, upper part of the sternum. It articulates with the body of the sternum at the manubriosternal joint. The manubrium of the sternum articulates with the clavicles and the sternocleidomastoid, sternohyoid, and sternothyroid muscles connect here. The top of the manubrium features the small jugular notch which admits passage of the jugular vein along the bone.
