What is "neck"?

The neck is the slender and flexible part of the body that connects the head to the rest of the torso. It contains vital structures such as the cervical vertebrae, muscles, blood vessels, and the windpipe. The neck plays a crucial role in supporting the head, allowing for a wide range of movements, including turning, tilting, and nodding. It also serves as a pathway for important structures, such as the spinal cord and major blood vessels, facilitating the flow of information and nutrients throughout the body. The neck is a vital and complex region, bridging the gap between the head and the rest of the body, enabling essential functions and providing structural support.
