The xiphoid process is the most inferior portion of the sternum. The superior section is the manubrium, and the medial portion is the body.
The sternum, also known as the breastbone, is a flat bone typically consisting of three parts. These parts are the manubrium, body, and xiphoid process. So, in total, the sternum consists of three bones fused together.
The breast bone is also called the sternum in scientific communities. It is made of three parts, the manubrium (top), the gladeolus, and the zyphoid.SternumThe medical term for the breast bone is...the Sternum.

The middle of the rib cage is made up of three parts: The Manubrium, (top); The Sternum, (middle); and The Xiphoid Process, (bottom).
The end of the sternum is the xiphoid process. Xiphisternal (xiphosternal) joints are between the xiphoid process and body of the sternum. It is a primary cartilaginous joint (synchrondrosis) and these bones are united by hyaline cartilage.
The process tip of the breastbone, also known as the xiphoid process, is a small cartilaginous extension at the bottom of the sternum. It serves as an attachment point for some abdominal muscles and ligaments.
The three parts of the sternum are the manubrium, the body (also called the gladiolus), and the xiphoid process. The manubrium is the top portion that connects to the clavicles, the body is the middle and longest part, and the xiphoid process is the smallest and most inferior portion.
The portion of the sternum that is made of cartilage in children is the xiphoid process. This cartilaginous portion eventually ossifies and becomes bone in adulthood.
The adult sternum consists of three main components: the manubrium, the body (or corpus), and the xiphoid process. These parts are fused together in adulthood, forming a flat bone located in the center of the chest, which serves as an attachment point for ribs and muscles.
