    Sternum Anatomy

    • Sternal Angle:

      • Signifies the level of the second rib, crucial for rib counting and thoracic assessments.
    • Manubrium:

      • The uppermost part of the sternum.
      • Articulates with the clavicles and first ribs, forming the thoracic skeleton.
    • Jugular Notch:

      • A dip located at the superior border of the manubrium.
      • Easily palpable, serves as a landmark for medical examinations.
    • Clavicular Notch:

      • Located on either side of the manubrium.
      • Receives the clavicles, forming the sternoclavicular joint important for shoulder mobility.
    • Body:

      • The central portion of the sternum.
      • Provides structural support and articulates with multiple ribs via costal cartilages.
