Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be the "Cervical region".

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The cervical area or region of the thoracic vertebrae should be above the chest region as well as the lumbar region is directly underneath the chest region.
  • This zone is composed of 7 type of vertebrae, referred to simply from C1 to C7 (beginning to end or top to bottom).
  • Such vertebrae strengthen or protect the center of the brain as well as the spinal cord, stabilize the neck and enable a broad range of motion of the head.

Therefore, the Cervical region is the right answer.
