Diagram showing the translation of mRNA and the synthesis of proteins by a ribosome. In molecular biology and genetics, translation is the process in which ribosomes in a cell's cytoplasm create proteins, following transcription of DNA to RNA in the cell's nucleus.
Clinically, the xiphoid process plays an important role as a bony anatomical landmark in the trunk and may be damaged by improperly administered CPR. The xiphoid process is located inferior to the body of the sternum.he xiphoid process is the smallest and most inferior region of the sternum, or breastbone.
Xiphoid process is also known as metasternum, xiphisternum and xiphoid cartilage. It is located exactly at the center of the chest below the nipple line in a downward projection at the lowest portion of the rib that connects the sternum.The xiphoid process has a sharp tip making it look like a sword.The primary function of which is in the attachment of a muscle that is significant for the breathing process which is called the diaphragm. Xiphoid process also serves as an attachment for rectus abdominus muscle and the transversus thoracis muscle.iphoid process is generally an unsupported structure and unprotected by the ribcage that it is potential for an easy break off. The break in the xiphoid process is particularly potential during the cardiopulmonary resuscitation that extra care is necessary when performing CPR.
