The sternum is a flat bone that makes up the front wall of the chest. The sternum consists of three elements: the handle of the sternum (manubrium sterni), which takes the shape of a quadrangular flat bone; the body of the sternum (corpus sterni), which resembles a rectangle, to the side surface of which ribs two to six are attached; and the last part of the sternum is the xiphoid process (processus xiphoideus), which is usually cartilage (therefore, it is rarely preserved in the bone material). The sternum is made of a thin layer of compact matter that surrounds the spongy part containing the bone marrow.

Podgląd ogólny
Anatomically, we distinguish 12 pairs of ribs, seven of which constitute the true (vertebrosternal) ribs (costae vere). They are connected directly by cartilage to the sternum. The next three pairs of ribs (8–10), called false (vertebrochondral) ribs (costae spuriae), fuse with the cartilage of the ribs connected above to form the costal arch. The last two pairs of ribs (11 and 12) are called floating (vertebral, free) ribs (costae fluctuantes) because they connect neither to the other ribs nor the sternum. Although the anatomical ribs have the same elements, due to their location in the chest, their geometry changes. The upper ribs (1 and 2) of the thorax are short and the shafts are horizontal. The ribs on the lower thorax are long and vertical. The ribs are made of a thin layer of dense bone and spongy bone substance rich in red bone marrow.
