Later the centers of each pair fuse and the single centers so formed, extending through the cartilage, eventually unite to form the greater part of the body of the bone. In each of the two uppermost seg- ments, however, but a single center appears, that of the second segment uniting with the more posterior centers and forming the upper part of the body, while the uppermost center gives rise to the manubrium, which frequently persists as a distinct bone united to the body by a Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original McMurrich, J.
