颈椎脊柱开始头骨超级的基地iorly,ends above thoracic spine inferiorly and it could be called(neck).Neck joins head with trunk and limbs and it works as a major conduit for structures between them. Flexibility of neck movement allows and maximise necessary positions to head functions and its sensory organs. There are many important structures in neck area like nerves, muscles,arteries,veins, vertebrates, lymphatics,glands, oesophagus and trachea. Due to these important structures and lack of bony protection inneck area,it is considered as a region of vulnerability. The main arterial blood supply for head and neck iscarotid arteriesand principal venous drainage isjugular veins.CarotidandJugularare commonly injured in penetrating wound of neck.Brachial plexuesof nervesoriginates in neck and travels inferiorly to upper limb. In anterior aspect of neck,there isthyroid cartilage(largest cartilage of thyroid and trachea)[1].
Bony Structure:[edit|edit source]
It consists of 7 vertebrates from C1 to C7 , C1 called atlas and C2 called axis. Cervical spine has a lordotic curve ( C shaped curve )[2].
