Sternum
It is behind (posterior to) the breastbone (sternum) in the chest (thorax).
There are two such muscles on each side of the sternum in the human body: pectoralis major and pectoralis minor.
The rib cage and sternum protect vital organs, such as the heart and lungs, by forming a strong, bony structure around them. They act as a shield, absorbing impact and preventing injuries to these essential organs.
There are three types of ribs in the human body: true ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs. True ribs are connected directly to the sternum, false ribs are connected to the sternum indirectly or not at all, and floating ribs are not connected to the sternum at all. Each type of rib plays a role in protecting the organs in the chest and supporting breathing, but they differ in their attachment points and flexibility.
