Aus Dornheim Anatomy
Good palpation through the skin is a notch (Incisura jugularis) at the cranial margin of the manubrium. The depressions Incisurae claviculares (right and left) 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 II-VII) are for the cartilaginous connection with ribs 2-7. At Angulus sterni the manubrium is slightly bent backwards against the body of the sternum. The sword process is often cartilaginous and has no connection to a rib.
