Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The xiphoid process is a small bony feature of the anterior thoracic wall just inferior to the sternum corpus. Although the xiphoid process is commonly represented as a straight, fully ossified bone in educational textbooks, reports of anomalous processes flood the literature.

Detailed explanation-2: -The xiphoid process (/ˈzɪfɔɪd/), 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".
