What is the sternomanubrial junction region?
It is in the bone in the center of your ribcage. Your "Sternum". The Sternomanubrial joint articulates the body of your sternum with the upper portion of your sternium, also called the "Manubrium".

2, manubrium and the body. The xiphoid process is cartilaginous
Where is the cartilaginous joint located?
You have primary cartilaginous joint between the growing bones. They are called as primary cartilaginous joint. You have secondary cartilaginous joint in mid-line of your body. For example pubic symphysis, a joint between manubrium sterni and sternum as well as discs between your vertebrae.
Is the manubrium also called the breastbone?
The sternum consists of three portions: the manubrium (the upper segment of the sternum, a flattened, roughly triangular bone), the corpus or body of the sternum, and the xiphoid process (the little tail of the sternum than points down). These three portions of the sternum arise as separate bones and may fuse partially or completely with one another. Usually it's known as the sternum, but I suppose you could say manubrium as well.
