Answer 2

Answer:

The sternum (or breastbone) is a flat bone located at the anterior aspect of the thorax. It lies in the midline of the chest and has a ‘T’ shape.

As part of the bony thoracic wall, the sternum helps protect the internal thoracic viscera – such as the heart, lungs and oesophagus.

sternum is divided anatomically into three segments: manubrium, body, and xiphoid process.

Our sternum serves two very important functions:

• Protection: our sternum, along with your ribs, works to protect the organs of your torso, such as your heart, lungs, and chest blood vessels.
• Support:our sternum also provides a connection point for other parts of your skeletal system, including your collarbone and most of your ribs. Some muscles of your chest and upper abdomen also connect to the sternum.
