Throat
In anatomy, the throat is the part of the neck anterior to the vertebral column.
The throat contains various blood vessels, various pharyngeal muscles, the trachea (windpipe) and the esophagus. As such, the throat is a vulnerable area in many animals, and correspondingly an important area of predatory attack. Strangulation is one form of an attack to the throat.
