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.
The xiphoid process area is located at the lower part of the sternum. Pain in this area is known as xiphoid process pain, xiphoid syndrome, xiphoidynia, or xiphoidalgia. Xiphoidalgia is characterized primarily by tenderness and dull pain in the xiphoid process area. Xiphoid process pain is a subject of controversy.
