Editing Xiphoid process (section)

==Function==
Similar to how the first seven [[ribs]] articulate with the sternum, the cartilage within the [[celiac plexus]] attaches to the xiphoid process, reinforcing it, and indirectly connecting the [[costal cartilage]] to the sternum. The xiphoid process plays a role in the attachment of many muscles, including the [[abdominal diaphragm]], a muscle necessary for normal breathing. Additionally, it serves as an attachment point for the [[Rectus abdominis muscle|rectus abdominis muscles]], commonly known as the "abs."
