The sternum is a flat bone that forms the anterior wall of the thoracic cavity. It is composed of three parts: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid process. The manubrium is the superior part of the sternum and articulates with the clavicles and the first costal cartilages. The body is the middle part of the sternum and articulates with the second through sixth costal cartilages. The xiphoid process is the inferior part of the sternum and is a small, cartilaginous projection.
