Xiphoid process
The xiphoid process (), ensiform process, xiphisternum or metasternum, is a small cartilaginous process (extension) of the inferior (lower) part of the sternum, which is usually ossified in the adult human. Both the Greek-derived xiphoid and its Latin equivalent ensiform mean "swordlike" or "sword-shaped".
