The sternum works primarily with the skeletal system as it is a vital component of the rib cage, providing structure and protection for the heart and lungs. It also interacts with the muscular system, serving as an attachment point for several muscles involved in respiration and movement of the upper body. Additionally, it plays a role in the circulatory system by protecting major blood vessels that run close to the heart.
