The sternum is a large bone just under the neck. It is long and very fragile
Sternum

yes the sturnum is the bone that is inbetween our two sets of rib cages
Your heart is located behind the sternum and between the lungs.
It is in the center of the chest where all of the ribs attach. IT is also called the breast bone.
anterior wall of thoresic cage is made by sturnum,posterior wall by v.c. and letterl flanks by ribs
I presume it is the Sternum. It is the breast bone which is joined by the two collar bones called clavicle, and it is joined by the costal cartilages of the ribs to form the chest cavity
The bones surrounding the lungs are the ribs. They are designed to shield the lungs from injury and allow them to fully expand and contract under normal operation.
The sternum is a flat bone located in the center of the chest, commonly known as the breastbone. It serves as an attachment point for the ribs and helps protect the internal organs in the chest, such as the heart and lungs.
The sternum, or breastbone, serves as a central component of the ribcage, providing structural support and protection for vital organs such as the heart and lungs. It connects to the ribs via cartilage, allowing for flexibility during respiration. Additionally, the sternum serves as an attachment point for several muscles involved in the movement of the upper body.
I can pop my sternum out a little less than an inch from where it normally is. I figured out how to do it at age 15. One of my theory's as to why, is I have trouble breathing a lot, and a lot of muscle built up in the sturnum area. Popping it out has nothing to do with the air behind it I believe. My dad has a deviated sternum, and when I hug him, we fit like a puzzle peice :D The only medical issues I have are, Low Vitamin D, minor depression, and reactive airway disease. Also, I'm having a geneticist check my Mitochondria for low energy production.
in the respiratory system The ribcage doesn't play a specific role in the respiratory system; that is, it isn't essential to it. All it does is to protect the organs in the chest, some of which are used in the respiratory system.
