Das Brustbein oder lateinisch Sternum (latinisiert von altgriechisch στέρνον sternon, ‚Brust, Herz, Gemüt‘) ist ein platter, schwertförmiger Knochen in der vorderen Mitte des Brustkorbs, an dem die Rippen bzw. deren knorpelige Verlängerungen ansetzen. Das Brustbein des Mannes ist dabei schlanker als das der Frau. Die Längsdurchtrennung des Brustbeins bei Operationen wird als Sternotomie bezeichnet. Für hinter dem Brustbein gelegene Strukturen und Empfindungen verwendet man die Lagebezeichnung retrosternal, für seitlich des Brustbeins gelegene parasternal; die einzelnen Abschnitte des Sternums werden (von oben nach unten) wie folgt benannt: * Manubrium sterni (Handgriff) * Corpus sterni (Körper) * Processus xiphoideus (Schwertfortsatz)
