This grouping of the soft parts forms the foundation for the further comprehensionof this region. The visceral column, as the reader may readily discover in his own neck, is easilymoved upon the anterior surface of the vertebral column. Tumors situated in the lateralportions of the neck consequently easily displace the larynx, the trachea, and the esophagus Anterior jugular veins Thyroid cartilagePlatysma.
