The two main muscles in the neck are the sternocleidomastoid and the trapezius. The sternocleidomastoid, located on each side of the neck, is responsible for rotating and flexing the head. The trapezius, which extends from the back of the skull to the middle of the back, helps in moving, rotating, and stabilizing the shoulder blades and extends the neck. Together, these muscles play crucial roles in neck movement and stability.
The sternocleidomastoid muscles are the major muscles that assist you in flexing the neck, along with the longus capitis and a few other small deep muscles of the anterior neck. These flex the neck and head forward or anteriorly. The splenius capitis, semispinalis capitis and longissimus capitis are the major extensor muscles of the neck. These extend the neck upward and backward or posteriorly.
The sacrospinalis, also known as the erector spinae, is a group of muscles located along the spine. It extends from the sacrum and lower back up to the cervical vertebrae in the neck. These muscles are positioned laterally to the vertebral column and play a crucial role in maintaining posture and enabling spinal movement.

The pain.... /facepalm
the two muscles of the neck are both superficial and are easy palpated in the neck those cervical muscles are STERNOCLEIDOMASTIOD AND TRAPEZIUS
The heart and the lungs, these are known as involuntary muscles.
It runs from the neck region to the armpit (under the collarbone) and then down the arm.
The neck extensors are the group of muscles located on the back of the neck that help to extend (tilt backward) the head and neck. These muscles include the splenius capitis, semispinalis capitis, and the upper portion of the trapezius. Strengthening these muscles can help improve posture and reduce neck pain.
No. Chickens' brains are in their heads, but the brain stem extends into the neck.
