The spinal cord consists of 5 divisions or regions of vertebrae, in the cervical region (the most "superior" segment) along the spinal cord, are the 'typical' and 'atypical' vertebrae. Altogether this region has 7 vertebrae, named from the most superior to inferior positioned (C1-C7) i.e. from top to bottom.

The 'atypical' vertebrae are the two most superior positioned i.e. the top two (C1 & C2); C1 is also called the 'Atlas' and C2 the 'Axis'. The 'typical' vertebrae are the five most inferior positioned i.e. the bottom 5 (C3-C7).

These are both the same. Just different names. Mostly disc is used for the discs between the vertebrae. Disk is often used for what you have information on and use in your computer. Both ways are used for the discs between the vertebrae but I have noticed that more are using DISC.
