Video Summary
The bones of the neck consist of the cervical spine made up of seven vertebrae and support the weight of the head. Between each vertebra is an intervertebral disk that helps cushion the spinal cord. The spinal cord travels down the center of the spine, and branches out to form nerves that control all parts of the body. Other bones of the neck include the hyoid bone, the manubrium of the sternum, and the clavicles.
