What anatomical part of the heart is CPR performed on and why?
The heart is being mechanically compressed between the sternum and the spinal column. This external mechanical compression is what forces the heart to pump blood. There is not a specific anatomical part of the heart that CPR is performed on.
Is your spine superior to your sternum?
superior, in anatomical terms means closer to the top of the body, and inferior means closer to the bottom of the body. eg, your neck is superior to your pelvis. anterior means towards the front of the body, posterior towards the back. eg, your sternum is anterior of your scapular. so, 'is your spine superior to your sternum' is not correct. this actually mixes the terminology of superior/inferior and anterior/posterior. your spine cannot be 'higher' than your sternum, it can however be posterior to your sternum. Hope this helps!

Why is it that the correct placement of CPR is in the lower half of the sternum?
Actually, the correct hand placement is more in the center of the sternum. You want to avoid the xyphoid process which is at the end of the sternum, if one is not present, which is common, it's even more crucial to avoid the end of the sternum for risk of compressing and puncturing vital organs such as heart, lungs, diaphragm, and liver. Hands should be placed in the center of the sternum approximately at the nipple line. You place your hands there because it's anatomically correct in relation to where the heart is, which is what you're wanting to compression to produce blood profusion.
Is the heart anterior or lateral to the sternum?
The heat is posterior to the sternum, not anterior. It is a midline structure, like the sternum, so it is not lateral to the sternum.
