The Sternum The Sternum. The sternum is the flat bone located in the middle of the chest. The sternum, together with the ribs, forms the ribcage that helps to protect the heart and the lungs, as well as major blood vessels. Ribs are connected to the sternum by cartilage. The sternum is composed of the following three parts: the manubrim, the gladiolus and the xiphoid process. In adults, the three parts of the sternum are often bone that is fused together. The manubrim is located at the top of the sternum.

Chest Bone Deformity in Dogs In pectus excavatum, the sternum and costal cartilages are deformed, resulting in a horizontal narrowing of the chest, primarily on the posterior side. The sternum, or chest bone, is a long flat bone located in the center of the thorax, and the costal cartilages are the cartilages that connect the chest bone with the ends of the ribs. In appearance, the middle of the chest appear to be flat or concave, rather than slightly convex. Brachycephalic (short-nose) breed dogs are predisposed to this condition and in most cases are born with (congenital) this disability.

Sternum The cartilages of the top seven ribs join with the sternum at the sternocostal joints. The right and left clavicular notches articulate with the right and left clavicles, respectively. The costal cartilage of the second rib articulates with the sternum at the sternal angle making it easy to locate.

Xiphoid process The xiphoid process /ˈzaɪfɔɪd/ , or xiphisternum or metasternum, is a small cartilaginous process (extension) of the lower part of the sternum which is usually ossified in the adult human.It may also be referred to as the ensiform process.n newborns and young (especially slender) infants, the tip of the xiphoid process may be both seen and felt as a lump just below the sternal notch. By age 15 to 29, the xiphoid usually fuses to the body of the sternum with a fibrous joint.
