THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -The neck is part of a long flexible column, known as the spinal column or backbone, which extends through most of the body. The cervical spine (neck region) consists of seven bones (C1-C7 vertebrae), which are separated from one another by intervertebral discs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Age, injury, poor posture or diseases such as arthritis can lead to degeneration of the bones or joints of the cervical spine, causing disc herniation or bone spurs to form.

Detailed explanation-3: -While the disorder is chronic and cannot be cured, early diagnoses and interventions can prevent further degeneration.

Detailed explanation-4: -The word cervix is derived from the Latin root word “cervix” which means “neck.” For this reason, the word cervical pertains to many areas where tissues narrow to a neck-like passage, and not only in your neck.
