The seventh cervical vertebra is called as vertebra prominens. This vertebra has the long and prominent spine. This spine can be felt at the joint of the neck and thorax.
You should always take spinal precautions for dive injuries. Several people may be needed to keep the person floating on the surface, with one person at the head to maintain cervical spine position. If a long spine board is available, it should be put in the water and moved underneath the patient. If there is not a long spine board available, leave the patient in the water until emergency crews can get there, unless there is a problem with the airway, breathing, or circulation (cardiopulmonary arrest). The long spine board should float and hold the patient above the water. If it is not floating, there may be a hole in it from rough handling, so a different board should be used. Secure the patient to the board and get a cervical collar on before extricating from the water.
In a human it is 7 vertebrae that make up the bones in the neck. Additional "factoids": Giraffes also have only 7 vertebrae in their necks/cervical spine, the difference is each one can be ten inches long! Swans can have as many as 25 vertebral bones in the neck and amphibians can have only one. There are 7 vertebra in the cervical region.
