    The sternal angle is an important anatomical landmark in the chest. It marks the level where the trachea divides into the two main bronchi, the aorta transitions from its ascending to descending portion, and the pulmonary trunk separates into left and right branches. Several other structures also relate to this level, including the azygos vein, cardiac plexus, and thoracic duct.

    -Pulmonary trunk divides (bifurcates) into left and right branches

    -Azygos vein drains into SVC
