No. C2 is for vision only and that sense is interpreted by back lobe of the brain called the occipital lobe.
In the cervical spine, the C2-C6 vertebrae generally have bifid spinous proceses.

The cervical region of the spine contains 7 vertebrae. The best motion in this are is rotation. C1 (the atlas) and C2 (the axis) are specialized bones of rotation.
the two vertebra that attach the skull to the spine are the axis and atlas also referred to as C1 and C2
Fractures in the C2 region, or the axis of the cervical spine, are particularly dangerous because they can compromise the stability of the cervical spine and potentially damage the spinal cord or vertebral arteries. The C2 vertebra plays a crucial role in supporting the skull and allowing for head rotation. Injury in this area can lead to severe neurological deficits, paralysis, or even death due to its proximity to vital structures. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to mitigate these risks.
Yes, the C1 vertebra (atlas) does not have a transverse foramen. This feature is unique to the following vertebrae in the cervical spine, starting from C2.

This typically indicates that there is no obvious compression or narrowing of the central canal or neural foramen at the C2-C3 level of the spine. "Patent" means that these spaces are open and unobstructed. It suggests there are no significant structural abnormalities in this area.
Seven. The first vertebra being the Atlas and the second being the Axis.
