This picture could really use a redo. Looks pretty bad!

There is no reason to have two separate articles, information on the animal sternum can be provided in a subsection on the larger article focusing on the human sternum. It is needlessly fragmented to have one stub and a second 'human sternum' article. LT910001 ( talk) 01:56, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
Needless fragmentation of content; makes articles harder to reader for readers, could easily be provided on the main Sternum article, this could be expanded at a later time if need be. LT910001 ( talk) 06:14, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
I propose to add this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.234.190.153 ( talk) 16:18, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
This article is titled "Sternum", as are related articles (eg Sternal fractures, sternotomy) so I have replaced all instances of "breastbone" with "sternum" in text. -- Tom (LT) ( talk) 08:49, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
It seems to be that the manubrium sterni becomes considerably more robust and prominent during male puberty. Perhaps something on sexual dimorphism could be added here? Correctrix ( talk) 03:16, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
I can't be the only one confused by this. I'm looking at Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology, 23rd Edition p.523 "RESPIRATORY MUSCLES". When the external intercostal muscles contract in inspiration, they lift their respective interior rib towards the superior, hinging the inferior rib outward to increase the volume enclosed. Does this mean the whole sternum moves, or that each of the inferior ribs twists, i.e. at its junction with the sternum? LeadSongDog come howl! 21:38, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

"In adults the sternum is on average about 17 cm longer in the male than in the female."
I really doubt this, that's closer to the total length, no? Did someone drop a comma after cm, or a decimal point in "1.7"? 2600:1700:C3F0:3B20:0:0:0:33 ( talk) 16:06, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
