| We have now entered among the typical species, where every form occurs between a round and an ensiform shape. |
| Gastralgia is more frequent than enteralgia, and the pain is located about the ensiform cartilage. |
| The manubrium is thickened and drawn inward, the ensiform process protuberant, the sternum often swelled and painful to the touch. |
| The seventh vertebra articulates laterally at the point at which the ensiform process is attached to the corpus of the sternum. |
| The situation of the localized pain is usually at or a little below the ensiform cartilage. |
