This article describes the '''anatomy of the [[human head|head]] and [[neck]]''' of the human body, including the brain, bones, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, glands, nose, mouth, teeth, tongue, and throat.

==Structure==
===Bones===
The head rests on the top part of the [[vertebral column]], with the skull joining at C1 (the first [[cervical vertebrae|cervical vertebra]] known as the [[atlas (anatomy)|atlas]]). The skeletal section of the head and neck forms the top part of the [[axial skeleton]] and is made up of the [[human skull|skull]], [[hyoid]] bone, [[auditory ossicles]],  and [[cervical spine]]. 

The skull can be further subdivided into:
# the [[Human cranium|cranium]] (8 bones: frontal, 2-parietal, occipital, 2-temporal, [[sphenoid bone|sphenoid]], [[ethmoid bone|ethmoid]]), and<br/>
# the facial bones (14 bones: 2-zygomatic, 2-maxillary, 2-palatine, 2-nasal, 2-lacrimal, vomer, 2-inferior conchae, mandible).

The [[occipital bone]] joins with the atlas near the [[foramen magnum]], a large hole ({{wt|en|foramen}}) at the base of the skull. The atlas joins with the occipital condyle above and the axis below. The spinal cord passes through the foramen magnum.

===Skin===
The head and neck is covered in [[Human skin|skin]] and its appendages, termed the [[integumentary system]]. These include [[hair]], [[sweat glands]], [[sebaceous glands]], and sensory nerves. The skin is made up of three microscopic layers: [[Epidermis (skin)|epidermis]], [[dermis]], and [[hypodermis]]. The [[Epidermis (skin)|epidermis]] is composed of stratified [[squamous epithelium]] and is divided into the following five sublayers or strata, listed in order from outer to inner:
* [[Stratum corneum]],
* [[Stratum lucidum]],
* [[Stratum granulosum]],
* [[Stratum spinosum]],
* [[Stratum germinativum]] also called stratum basale. The deepest layer is the miotic layer, ''stratum basale'' producing daughter cells by [[mitosis]].

===Mouth===
{{main|Human mouth}}
The mouth, also called the oral cavity, is the entranceway into the [[digestive system]] containing both primary and accessory organs of digestion.

====Teeth====
{{main|Human tooth}}
Two rows of teeth are supported by facial bones of the skull, the [[maxilla]] above and the [[Human mandible|mandible]] below. Adults have 32 permanent teeth, and children have 20 deciduous teeth. There are various tooth shapes for different jobs. For example, when chewing, the upper teeth work together with the lower teeth of the same shape to bite, chew, and tear food. The names of these teeth are:
* (1) [[Incisors]], there are eight incisors located in the front of the mouth (four on the top and four on the bottom). They have sharp, chisel-shaped crowns that cut food.
* (2) Cuspids (or [[canine tooth]]), the four cuspids are next to each incisor. Cuspids have a pointed edge to tear food.
* (3) [[Premolars]] (or bicuspids), the four pairs of molars are located next to the cuspids. They crush and tear food.
* (4) [[Molars]], there are twelve molars, in sets of three, at the back of the mouth. They have wide surfaces that help to grind food.

The white visible part of a tooth is called the ''crown''. The rounded upper projections of the back teeth are ''cusps''. The hard white exterior covering of the tooth is the ''enamel''. As the tooth tapers below the gumline, the ''neck'' is formed. Below the neck, holding the tooth into the bone, is the ''root'' of the tooth. The inner portions of the tooth consist of the dentin, a bonelike tissue, and the ''pulp''. The pulp is a soft tissue area containing the nerve and blood vessels to nourish and protect the tooth, located within the [[pulp cavity]].

A tooth sits in a specialized socket called the alveolus. The tooth is held in location by a [[periodontal ligament]], with the assistance of [[cementum]]. Teeth are surrounded by [[gingiva]], or gums, part of the [[periodontium]], support tissue of oral cavity protection. The [[periodontium]] includes all of the support membranes of the dental structures surround and support the teeth such as the gums and the attachment surfaces and membranes. These include epithelial tissues ([[epithelium]]), connective tissues, ([[ligaments]] and [[bone]]), [[muscle]] tissue and [[nervous tissue]].

====Salivary glands====
{{main|salivary glands}}
There are three sets of [[salivary glands]]: the parotid, the submandibular and the sublingual glands. The ([[exocrine]]) glands secrete saliva for proper mixing of food and provides enzymes to start chemical digestion. [[Saliva]] helps to hold together the formed [[Bolus (digestion)|bolus]] which is swallowed after chewing. Saliva is composed primarily of water, ions, [[salivary amylase]], [[lysozyme]]s, and trace amounts of [[urea]].

====Tongue====
The tongue is a specialized [[skeletal muscle]] that is specially adapted for the activities of speech, chewing, developing [[gustatory]] sense (taste) and swallowing. The tongue contains two sets of muscles, the intrinsic- involved with shape of tongue, and the extrinsic- involved with tongue movement. It is attached to the [[hyoid bone]]. Terms meaning tongue include "glosso" ({{ety|el}}) and "lingual" (({{ety|la}}).

===Nose===
{{main|Human nose}}

===Microanatomy===
The outer surfaces of the head and neck are lined by [[epithelium]]. The protective tissues of the oral cavity are continuous with the digestive tract are called [[mucosa]] or mucous membranes. The cells of the inner oral cavity are called the [[buccal mucosa]].

The oral cavity is lined by a stratified [[squamous epithelium]] containing about three layers of cells.{{uncited|date=January 2018}} They line the oral, nasal, and [[external auditory meatus]], (ear), providing lubrication and protection against [[pathogens]]. 

The [[lip]]s are also protected by specialized sensory cells called [[Meissner's corpuscle]]s.

==Blood, lymph and nerve supply==
===Blood supply===
[[Blood]] circulates from the upper [[systemic loop]] originating at the [[aortic arch]], and includes: the [[brachiocephalic artery]], left [[common carotid artery]] and left [[subclavian artery]]. The head and neck are emptied of blood by the [[subclavian vein]] and [[jugular vein]].

[[Image:Gray507.png|thumb|right|300px|Right side of neck dissection showing the brachiocephalic, right common carotid artery and its branches]]
The '''brachiocephalic artery''' or trunk is the first and largest [[artery]] that branches to form the [[right common carotid]] artery and the [[subclavian artery|right subclavian artery]]. This artery provides blood to the right upper chest, right arm, neck, and head, through a branch called right [[vertebral artery]]. The right and left vertebral artery feed into the [[basilar artery]] and upward to the [[posterior cerebral artery]], which provides most of the brain with oxygenated blood.
The [[posterior cerebral artery]] and the [[posterior communicating artery]] are within the '''circle of Willis'''.

The '''left common carotid artery''' divides to form the: [[internal carotid artery]] (ICA) and an [[external carotid artery]] (ECA). The ICA supplies the brain. The ECA supplies the neck and face.

The '''left subclavian artery''' and the '''right subclavian artery''', one on each side of the body form the [[internal thoracic artery]], the vertebral artery, the [[thyrocervical trunk]], and the [[costocervical trunk]]. The subclavian becomes the axillary artery at the lateral border of the first rib. The '''left subclavian artery''' also provides blood to the left upper chest and left arm.

====Blood–brain barrier====

The [[blood–brain barrier]] (BBB) is semi-permeable membrane that controls the capillary leak potential of the circulatory system. In most parts of the body, the smallest blood vessels, called [[capillaries]], are lined with [[endothelial]] cells, which have small spaces between each individual cell so substances can move readily between the inside and the outside of the capillary. The endothelial cells of capillaries in the brain lack these spaces. Instead, the endothelial cells fit tightly together to create a [[tight junction]] which prevents substances from passing out of the bloodstream.

Specialized [[glial]] cells called [[astrocytes]] form a tight junction or protective barrier around brain blood vessels and may be important in the development of the BBB. Astrocytes may also be responsible for transporting ions ([[electrolytes]]) from the brain to the blood.

===Venous drainage===

Blood from the brain and neck flows from: (1) within the [[Human cranium|cranium]] via the [[internal jugular veins]], a continuation of the [[sigmoid sinuses]]. The right and left [[external jugular veins]] drain from the [[parotid glands]], facial muscles, scalp into the subclavian veins. The right and left vertebral veins drain the vertebrae and muscles into the right subclavian vein and into the [[superior vena cava]], into the [[right atrium]] of the [[heart]].

===Lymphatic system===

The lymphatic system drains the head and neck of excess [[interstitial fluid]] via [[lymph vessels]] or [[capillary|capillaries]], equally into the [[right lymphatic duct]] and the [[thoracic duct]].

[[Lymph node]]s line the cervical spine and neck regions as well as along the face and jaw.

The [[tonsils]] also are lymphatic tissue and help mediate the ingestion of pathogens.

Tonsils in humans include, from superior to inferior: [[nasopharyngeal tonsils]] (also known as [[adenoids]]), [[palatine tonsils]], and [[lingual tonsils]].

Together this set of lymphatic tissue is called the tonsillar ring or [[Waldeyer's ring]].

===Nerve supply===
The '''spinal nerves''' arise from the [[spinal column]]. The top section of the spine is the cervical section, which contains nerves that [[innervate]] muscles of the head, neck and [[thoracic cavity]], as well as transmit sensory information to the CNS.

The cervical spine section contains seven vertebrae, C-1 through C-7, and eight nerve pairs, C-1 through C-8.

There is the formation of an extensive network of nerve groups or tracts attaching to the spinal cord in arrangements called rami or [[plexus]].

The '''sensory''' branches of spinal nerves include: [[lesser occipital]], C-2, [[great auricular]], (C-2 and C-3); [[transverse cervical]], C-2 and C-3; and [[supraclavicular]], C-3 and C-4. These nerve groups transmit afferent (sensory) information from the scalp, neck, and shoulders to the brain.

The '''motor''' branches of spinal nerves include: [[ansa cervicalis]], dividing into a superior root, C-1, and an inferior root, C-2 and C-3, and the [[phrenic nerve]], C-3 to C-5, the [[segmental nerve]] branches, C-1 to C-5. These nerve groups transmit [[efferent nerve]] (motor) information from the brain to muscle groups of the  scalp, neck, [[diaphragm (anatomy)]], and shoulders.

Additionally there are: (C5-C8, and T1) [[Brachial plexus]], providing the entire nerve supply of the shoulder and upper limb; and includes [[supraclavicular branches]] ([[dorsal scapular nerve|dorsal scapular]], [[suprascapular]], [[long thoracic]]) lateral cord ([[musculocutaneous]], [[lateral antibrachial cutaneous]], lateral head of [[median nerve]]), medial cord (ulnar, medial head of median nerve, [[medial antibrachial cutaneous]], [[medial brachial cutaneous]]), posterior cord (axillary, radial), controlling the arm.

Damage to a person's spinal cord above C-5 may result in [[respiratory arrest]] and death if medicinal aid does not intervene.

====Cranial nerves====
Twelve pairs of [[cranial nerves]] emerge from the brain; these affect movements and sensation, and some special organs such as [[hearing]] of parts of the head and neck.

==Function==
Movements of the neck includes: [[flexion]], [[Extension (kinesiology)|extension]], (nodding yes),  and [[rotation]] (shaking head no).

The mouth has evolved to support chewing, (mastication) and swallowing (deglutition), and speech (phonation).

In addition to the teeth, other structures that aid chewing are the lips, [[cheeks]], [[tongue]], [[hard palate]], [[soft palate]], and floor of the mouth.

===Endocrine glands===
Several glands of the [[endocrine system]] are found within the head and neck.  [[Endocrine]] means that the secretion is used within the body. [[Endocrine gland]]s are termed as ductless and release their secretions directly into the blood. The [[endocrine system]] is under the direct supervision of the nervous system, using the [[negative feedback]] principal of [[homeostasis]], to create hormones which act as chemical instant messengers.

The [[hypothalamus]] connects directly to the [[pituitary gland]], both through the [[circulatory system]] and by direct connection of neurons. Also, within the [[Human cranium|cranium]], the [[pineal gland]], which attaches to the [[thalamus]], controls the body's 24-hour rhythms [[circadian rhythm]] through the release of [[melatonin]].

The [[pituitary gland]] secretes [[hormone]]s that directly impact the body as well as hormones that indirectly control body functions because they activate other endocrine glands, such as the [[adrenal cortex]] (ACTH) and the [[thyroid gland]] (TSH). These two glands when stimulated by pituitary hormones then release their own hormones.
The pituitary gland has two lobes, the anterior lobe and the posterior lobe. The anterior lobe secretes: [[growth hormone]] (GH), [[Luteinizing hormone]] (LH), [[Follicle stimulating hormone]] (FSH), [[Adrenocorticotropic hormone]] (ACTH), [[Thyroid-stimulating hormone]] (TSH), [[Prolactin]] (PRL), and the posterior lobe secretes: Antidieuretic hormone (ADH), and [[Oxytocin]]. There is an intermediate lobe, in adult humans it is just a thin layer of cells between the anterior and posterior pituitary, nearly indistinguishable from the anterior lobe. The intermediate lobe produces [[melanocyte-stimulating hormone]] (MSH).

In the neck are the [[thyroid]] and [[parathyroid gland]]s, that secrete hormones that control [[metabolism]] and blood [[calcium]] levels. The four parathyroid glands are situated upon the back surface of the thyroid gland.

===Respiratory system===
{{see also|Respiratory system}}
The respiratory system begins in the head and neck, with [[air]] entering and leaving the body through the mouth and nose. The respiratory system involving the head and neck includes:
# the [[nasal cavity]] for filtering, moistening, and warming the air
# the [[pharynx]] or [[throat]] which is the combining point for respiratory and [[digestive system]]
# the [[larynx]] or voice box containing the [[epiglottis]]
# the [[trachea]], or windpipe

These lead down into the [[lower respiratory tract]]. A critical junction between the respiratory and digestive systems is the [[epiglottis]], a cartilage flap  which shuts during swallowing to prevent [[Pulmonary aspiration|aspiration]]. The epiglottis is normally open to support respiration and shuts during swallowing to prevent food and fluids from entering the trachea, activating the gag reflex or initiates the choking mechanism.

===Central nervous system===
{{main|central nervous system}}
The '''nervous system''' is composed of a [[central nervous system]] (CNS), [[Human brain|brain]] and [[spinal cord]], and the [[peripheral nervous system]] (PNS), [[cranial nerves]] and [[spinal nerves]]. The CNS is located within the [[dorsal cavity]], and the PNS extends through the [[ventral cavity]]. The central nervous system provides control and coordination of all '''eleven''' body systems and utilizes the [[endocrine system]] to form [[hormone]] chemical messengers that transport through the blood to influence the activity of individual cells of the body and their associated tissues, organs and systems.

The CNS receives sensory ([[afferent nerve fiber|afferent]]) input from the PNS and directs the flow of information to [[association neurons]] ([[interneurons]]) to create [[chemical synapse]] responses which in turn cause the formation of motor ([[efferent nerve]]) responses to [[Stimulus (physiology)|stimulus]]. Association neurons are located in the [[grey matter]] of the spinal cord and the brain.

The CNS is protected by the [[Human cranium|cranium]], [[vertebral column]], [[meninges]], [[cerebrospinal fluid]]. The spinal cord is an extension of the brain. The spinal cord and the [[brain stem]] are joined at the base of the cranium at the [[foramen magnum]]. Most of the functions of the head and neck are directly influenced by the brain and transmitted to the PNS via the cranial nerves and spinal nerves of the cervical portion of the spine.

The PNS has two subdivisions
* [[somatic nervous system]] (SNS). The SNS is associated with the voluntary control of body movements through the action of [[skeletal muscles]], and also the reception of external stimuli.
* the [[autonomic nervous system]] (ANS). The ANS is divided into subsystems: the [[sympathetic nervous system]] (SNS) and the [[parasympathetic]] (PNS) nervous systems. The SNS and PNS often have opposing effects in the same organs or physiological systems, and the ANS is a major factor in maintaining [[homeostasis]].

==Development==
{{see also|Face and neck development of the human embryo}}
===Bones===
The facial bones usually form into pairs and then fuse together. As the cranium fuses, [[Suture (anatomy)|sutures]] are formed that resemble stitching between bone plates. In a newborn, the junction of the parietal bones with the frontal and occipital bones, form the anterior (front) and posterior (back) [[fontanelle]], or soft spots. The separation of the cranial bone plates at time of birth facilitate passage of the head of the fetus through the mother's [[birth canal]], or [[human pelvic girdle|pelvic girdle]]. The parietal bones, and occipital bone can overlap each other in the birth canal, and form the unusual looking "cone head" appearance in a newborn when delivered in a natural, or vaginal, delivery.

===Teeth===
Humans normally will produce two sets of teeth called primary dentition, or [[deciduous teeth]], and secondary dentition, or [[permanent teeth]].

A [[Human tooth|tooth]] is the toughest known substance in the body exceeding bones in density and strength. [[Tooth enamel]] lends great strength to the tooth structure.  The formation of a developing tooth includes the process of [[dentin]] formation, (see: [[dentinogenesis]]) and enamel formation, (see: [[amelogenesis]]).  The tooth breaks through the gum into the mouth in a process called eruption. The formation of teeth begins in early fetal development and goes through six stages:
* (1) initiation stage, 6th - 7th week
* (2) bud stage, 8th wk
* (3) cap stage, 9th-10 wk
* (4) bell stage, 11th-12th wk
* (5) apposition
* (6) maturation stage

==Clinical significance==
===Infection===
Severe viral infections that affect the mouth, lips, or the oral cavity include:
[[Oral cancer]] may have a viral link.
# Minor viral infections include: [[Mumps]] is a viral infection of the parotid salivary glands. [[Chicken pox]] is a viral infection that can spread to the mouth.
# Thrush ([[candidiasis]]) fungal infection. [[Tonsillitis]] is an inflammation of the tonsils and may cause a sore throat and fever. In chronic cases [[tonsillectomy]] may be required.

Infected teeth can on rare occasions cause infection to spread leading to [[cavernous sinus thrombosis]], [[mediastinitis]], or [[Ludwig's angina]] causing airway blockage. 

Diseases may be transmitted by contact of the head, mouth, or body fluids, such as [[Herpes Simplex Virus]] Type I (HSV-1), Herpes Simplex Virus Type II (HSV-2) [[genital herpes]], which may present as a lesion on the lips, and contactable via skin to skin contact

===Other===
# Other diseases include: [[Gingivitis]] gum disease, [[periodontal disease]], oral forms of [[syphilis]] and [[gonorrhea]]. [[Dental caries]] or dental cavities. 
# [[Temporomandibular joint]] diseases and disorders, commonly called TMJ.
# Autoimmune diseases such as: [[Crohn's disease]] of the oral cavity, see reference below.

Careful observation of the oral cavity, teeth and gums may reveal indicators of other medical conditions. For example, a person suffering from the eating disorder, [[bulimia nervosa]] may show signs of excessive tooth and gum erosion.

===Airway obstruction===
The airway in the head and neck may be obstructed with swelling associated with an enlarged tongue ([[macroglossia]]), tonsils, with swelling associated with [[anaphylactic shock]], [[angiooedema]], or a [[foreign body]].

Anaphylactic shock requires advanced medical care immediately; but other first aid measures include [[rescue breathing]] (part of [[CPR]]) and administration of [[epinephrine]] using an EpiPen for immediate administration of epinephrine (adrenaline) to reverse swelling and to keep the respiratory airway ([[Vertebrate trachea|trachea]]) open.
