There is a bone, in the center of our chest, right in front of the rib cage, which has the shape of a sword. Can you guess what bone that is? Well, yes, it's the sternum. We are then dedicating this tutorial to this very important bone of the Human body and learn everything about it's anatomy.

On the full version of this video, we will cover the overall anatomy and major features of the sternum. First we will look at the three parts of the sternum: the manubrium, the sternal body and the xiphoid process. And the articulations that join these three parts: the sternal angle and the xiphisternal junction.

Then we will look at the bony landmarks unique to the manubrium and sternal body. On the manubrium we will look at the: suprasternal notch, clavicular notches, first costal notch, and second costal notch.The sternal body features many notches for ribs to connect with the sternum. Each notch is named after the number of the rib.
