The sternum. It can be divided into 3 parts:

  • Manubrium the topmost part, which starts where you feel it at the top of your ribcage to the point of the 2nd rib
  • Body the middle and largest section, from the 2nd rib where the manubrium ends to about the 7th rib
  • Xiphoid process is at the lowermost sternum section
