A notch (incisura jugularis) on the cranial edge of the manubrium is easily palpable through the skin. The indentations Incisurae claviculares, on the right and left side of the Incisura jugulari, allow the connection to the respective clavicle. The flat notch (Incisura costalis I) below is for the cartilaginous connection with the first rib.
. The other notches (Incisura costales II-VII) are for the cartilaginous connection with the ribs 2-7. At the angulus sterni the manubrium is slightly bent backwards against the body of the sternum. The xiphoid process is often cartilaginous and has no connection to a rib.
