Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The spinal cord and brachial plexus do traverse the cervical region, but they are not the best choices in this question since they are also present in other regions of the body. The acromion is a part of the shoulder, not the cervical region. The pineal gland is located in the brain, not the cervical region. The xiphoid process is a part of the sternum, not the cervical region. The lymph nodes, esophagus, trachea, carotid arteries, and thyroid gland all traverse the cervical region. Therefore, the best choice is B, which includes all of these structures.
