An anatomical structure or area adjacent to or associated with the sternum, particularly in insect anatomy.
From Latin 'en-' (in, into) plus 'sternum' (breastbone, from Latin 'sternum' of Greek origin meaning 'chest'). Used in specialized zoological and entomological terminology.
In insect anatomy, the ensisternum is part of the complex skeletal-muscular system that allows insects incredible agility—understanding these tiny structures helped engineers design better flying robots.
