The Anatomy of the Neck

As part of my idea for my burnt mark I have decided to place it on the neck. Therefore in order to understand exactly how the burn would look on the surrounding tissue I did some research into the anatomy of the neck. 

The muscle surrounding the area of the burnt mark on the back of the neck is called the 'Trapezius'. This muscle travels down the back of the neck and the shoulder blades and is responsible for moving, rotating and stabalising the shoulder blades.  

This kind of information will influence the appearance of the scar than if it was somewhere with less muscle and closer to the bone. The skin will wrinkle less on the neck than it would on other places, like the hands for example.
