Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The suprasternal notch is a shallow V-shaped depression at the superior border of the manubrium, between the clavicles, and is easily palpable. The xiphoid process is located at the inferior end of the sternum and is not palpable in most people. The body of the sternum is the long flat portion of the sternum and is not easily palpable. The costal cartilage and costal groove are located on the ribs and not on the sternum.
