Neck
The neck supports the weight of the head, joins the head to the torso, carries the sensory and motor information from the brain to the rest of the body and contains major blood vessels, vital organs and glands. In order to provide the flexibility of movement necessary to use the eyes, ears, nose and mouth to maximum effect, the neck is very slender and this means that all of the essential components it contains are confined to a narrow area with little protection, making them extremely vulnerable to injury.

Back and Spine
The spine supports the trunk of the human body allowing it to stand upright and maintain balance. It protects the spinal cord, provides attachment for a number of muscles and the ribs, and helps to support the head and arms whilst allowing freedom of movement. The spine is made up of 33 vertebrae which have discs of fibrous cartilage between them that act as shock absorbers and allow the back to move.
