-the neck is the part of the body, on many vertebrates, that separates the head from the ‘torso’ or ‘trunk’-
.
(it contains ‘blood vessels’ + ‘nerves’ that supply structures in the head to the body)
(these in humans include part of the esophagus, the larynx, trachea, and thyroid gland, major blood vessels including the carotid arteries and jugular veins, and the first part of the ‘spinal cord’)
(in ‘anatomy’, the neck is also called by its latin names, cervix or collum, although when used alone, in context, the word cervix more often refers to the uterine cervix, the ‘neck’ of the ‘uterus’)
.
*thus the adjective cervical may refer either to the neck (as in cervical vertebrae or cervical lymph nodes) or to the ‘uterine cervix’ (as in cervical cap or “cervical cancer”)*
