The bones in the neck are called the cervical vertebrae. The first cervical vertebrae, C1, is called the atlas because it holds up the weight of the head. The second cervical vertebrae, C2, is called the axis because it allows side-to-side movement.
There are 29 bones in the head and neck of a human. 8 Cranial:1 Frontal, 2 Parietal, 2 Temporal, 1 Occipital, 1 Sphenoid, 1 Ethmoid; 14 Facial: 2 Nasal, 2 Maxilla, 2 Zygomatic, 1 Mandible, 2 Lacrimal, 2 Palantine, 2 Inferior Nasal Conchae, 1 Vomer; 7 other bones: 1 Hyoid, 6 Auditory
There is no bone connecting to the brain, BUT the spinal cord (the main nerve) connects to the spine which is made up of vertebrae.
The cranium is directly connected to the "neck bones" at the top vertebrae called C1 or Atlas.
That joint is called as atlanto occipital joint.
There are seven main bones, known as the cervical vertebrae. The are C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, and C7.
The first bone in the neck is the atlas.
the spine
The lower rear portion of the skullBack of the head.
A bone in anterior part of neck. Superior to thyroid carilage. Inferior to stylohyloid muscle.
# Hinge joints allow movement in one direction, as seen in the knees and elbows. # Pivot joints allow a rotating or twisting motion, like that of the head moving from side to side. # Ball-and-socket joints allow the greatest freedom of movement. The hips and shoulders have this type of joint, in which the round end of a long bone fits into the hollow of another bone.
A "head". For example, the head of the humerus or head of the femur.
You actually have two joints in your "head". Most of the joints are immoveable but the joint that the lower jaw makes with the rest of the skull is a movable joint.
The head bone's connected to the neck bone...
feamer head and neck
The head bone's connected to the neck bone...
The Cervical (neck) vertebrae.
Joints are the place where two bones meet. All of your bones, except for one (the hyoid bone in your neck), form a joint with another bone. Joints hold your bones together and allow your rigid skeleton to move. Hope this helps?! :)
becus they have a specil bone in there neck
A crash can cause your head to whip back and forth. This is hard on the muscles, bones, and joints in the neck.
You would call it a neck bone, I suppose, but the "Neck Bone" has many other bones with it. Though it is all made up as the Cervical vertebrae
It is. In fact, it is your shoulder which is right under your neck.
The lower rear portion of the skullBack of the head.
you can not dislocate a bone. Joints can be dislocated. some of you act as if you don't have a brain in your head.
The sternocleidomastiod. Theres one on each side of the neck going from your occipital bone (back of head) down to your clavical (collar bone).
