A flat bone present on the thorax on its ventral side is known as the sternum. In the midline of the chest, it is present and has a 'T' shape.
There are 12 pairs of ribs present in human beings and each pair joints to the column of the vertebra and to the sternum on the ventral end.
The sternum protects the internal thoracic viscera like the heart, lungs, and esophagus as a part of the Bony thoracic wall.
Into the three parts sternum can be divided i.e the manubrium, body, and xiphoid process. These elements are joined by cartilages in the children and ossify to the bone during adulthood.

Any fractures or break in the breastbone may be caused by direct trauma to the bone.
The sternum fractures can cause popping in the injured area due to the swelling of the joints.
