What is this?
Imagine you could explore the inside of a neck without actually cutting it open! A virtual autopsy of the neck lets doctors and scientists use computers to look closely at all the important parts inside your neck, like bones, muscles, and tubes, to understand how they work or what might have gone wrong.
Key Parts to Explore
Vertebrae (Spinal Bones)
These are the stack of small bones that protect your spinal cord and help you move your head.
Trachea (Windpipe)
This is the tube that carries air from your mouth and nose down to your lungs.
Esophagus (Food Pipe)
This is the tube that carries food and drinks from your mouth down to your stomach.
Carotid Arteries
These are big blood vessels that carry fresh, oxygen-rich blood from your heart up to your brain.
Did You Know?
Did you know your neck has seven bones, just like a giraffe, even though giraffes have much longer necks?
