Carotid sinus region
Anterolateral neck caution zone
The carotid sinus region lies on the anterolateral neck near the bifurcation of the common carotid artery. It is included because Kyusho materials name the neck as a high-risk control area, and it must be treated as medically dangerous rather than as a reproducible knockout switch.
