About this listen

 In this episode, we follow the anatomical trail from the head into the neck—one of the most functionally dense regions in the body. Acting as a vital conduit, the neck carries air to the lungs, food to the stomach, blood to the brain, and messages through nerves. From muscles and glands to vessels and vertebrae, our hosts break down the structure, spatial logic, clinical concerns, and high-stakes anatomy of this critical region. Learning Objectives: Identify key anatomical structures of the neck, including bones, muscles, vessels, nerves, and glands Understand spatial relationships and compartmental organization of the neck Learn clinical landmarks and imaging strategies for evaluating neck pathology Recognize conditions like carotid stenosis, tracheostomy, and thyroid disease Clarify confusing terminology such as “anterior triangle” vs. “posterior triangle” Gain expert insights on neck trauma, voice loss, and surgical approaches
