Neck, in land vertebrates, the portion of the body joining
the head to the shoulders and chest. Some important
structures contained in or passing through the neck include
the seven cervical vertebrae and enclosed spinal cord,
the jugular veins and carotid arteries, part of the esophagus,
the larynx and vocal cords, and the sternocleidomastoid and
hyoid muscles in front and the trapezius and other nuchal
muscles behind. Among the primates, humans are
characterized by having a relatively long neck.

The content of the neck is grouped into 4 neck spaces,
called the compartments.
Vertebral compartment: contains cervical vertebrae
and postural muscles.
Visceral compartment: contains glands (thyroid,
parathyroid, and thymus),
the larynx, pharynx and trachea.

Two vascular compartments: contain the common
carotid artery, internal jugular vein and the vagus
nerve, on each side of the neck.
Protection of the parts of the neck and its mobility are
ensured by the vertebrae and muscles of the neck.
