Explanation
The neck is the part of the body that connects your head to the rest of your body. It helps support your head, allowing you to turn it in different directions. Inside the neck are important things like your throat, windpipe, and blood vessels that take blood to your brain. The neck also helps you breathe, speak, swallow food, and move comfortably. People often feel tension or pain in the neck when they sit in the wrong posture for too long or when they are stressed.
