The closest bone to the midline on the anterior (front) of the body is the sternum, the lower tip of the sternum is called the xyphoid process. Other than that, there really is no bone close to the midline of the body that has an end. On the back (posterior) is the vertebral column, but those bones do not have ends on them.
