my my my, I think you people are looking into this a little too deeply. The neck is the neck. It's a pedestal for your head. The back part of the neck is occupied by the spinal cord and the throat is generally considered the front part, where the trachea, esophagus, and voice box are located. And, by the way, Bridget, the Adam's Apple is simply the voice box. Everyone has one, it's just higher up in females, so you can't see it.
