sternumThe most caudal sternebra is the xyphoid bone.The most caudal part of the sternum is called the xiphoid or xiphoid process. The cranial part of the sternum is called the hyoid or hyoid bone.
The portion of the sternum that is made of cartilage in children is the xiphoid process. This cartilaginous portion eventually ossifies and becomes bone in adulthood.
Is the Epigastric region, located just inferior to the breastbone.
The sternum is a long, flat bone located in the center of the chest. It has three main parts: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid process. The manubrium is the top portion and connects to the clavicles, while the xiphoid process is the bottom portion and can vary in shape from person to person.
The epigastric region is the area just distal to the sternum. it gets its name from the prefix "epi" meaning above, and the root "gastric" meaning stomach. Thus, its name literally describes its location.

The manubrium is the superior portion of the sternum and what articulates with the clavicles.
The xiphoid process is the most inferior portion of the sternum. The superior section is the manubrium, and the medial portion is the body.
The xiphoid process is the most inferior portion of the sternum. The superior section is the manubrium, and the medial portion is the body.

Manubrium
The portion of the sternum that is made of cartilage in children is the xiphoid process. This cartilaginous portion eventually ossifies and becomes bone in adulthood.
The manubrium or manubrium sterni is the upper part of the sternum. It articulates with the clavicles and first two ribs.
First part (proximal portion) of the sternum.
The term "xiphoid" means "sword-shaped" and it refers to the small, sword-like structure at the inferior end of the sternum, known as the xiphoid process. It is a small, cartilaginous extension at the bottom of the sternum in the shape of a sword.
The xiphoid process is the most inferior portion of the sternum. The superior section is the manubrium, and the medial portion is the body.
Is the Epigastric region, located just inferior to the breastbone.
