Is the manubrium also called the breastbone?

The sternum consists of three portions: the manubrium (the upper segment of the sternum, a flattened, roughly triangular bone), the corpus or body of the sternum, and the xiphoid process (the little tail of the sternum than points down). These three portions of the sternum arise as separate bones and may fuse partially or completely with one another. Usually it's known as the sternum, but I suppose you could say manubrium as well.
