Spanish term or phrase: Ranura del esternón
It appears in a table, so not within the context of a sentence. There is a picture indicating that it is in the region of the suprasternal notch. Is this another way of saying "muesca supraesternal"?

English translation:jugular notch
Explanation:
No se trata de una referencia ósea sino de una referencia torácica externa, en alusión al "hueco" supraesternal (a veces denominada escotadura supraesternal), que en inglés, creo, se conoce como jugular notch.

Perdón, tal y como ya comentado por Marcelo en Discussion:
"The suprasternal notch, also known as the fossa jugularis sternalis, or jugular notch, or Plender gap is a large, visible dip in between the neck in humans, between the clavicles, and above the manubrium of the sternum."
Esa es exactamente la idea.
