The neck is the part of the body that connects the head to the torso. It supports the head and allows it to move, containing important structures such as bones, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, and the trachea.

The word 'neck' comes from Old English 'hnecca,' meaning 'back of the head.'

Your neck is the part of your body that connects your head to your shoulders, and it lets you turn your head to look around.
