The neck is like a strong tree trunk that helps hold up the tree’s branches, which are like your head. Just like how the trunk supports the tree and helps it stand tall, your neck keeps your head in place and lets it move around. It lets you nod up and down like when you say ‘yes’, or shake side to side like when you say ‘no’.
Think of the neck as a busy highway where lots of important things travel. Inside, there are roads for air to go to your lungs so you can breathe, and roads for food to go to your tummy when you swallow. There are also special wires, called nerves, that send messages from your brain to the rest of your body, telling it what to do.
The neck is also like a superhero’s belt, filled with important tools. It holds the voice box, which lets you talk and sing, and it has glands that help fight off germs to keep you healthy. So, the neck is not just a connector but a powerful part of your body that helps you do many things!
