7-same number in you, a mouse, and a giraffe!
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
There are seven cervical (neck) vertebra.
There are seven bones in the neck that make up what is called the "Cervical vertebrae". They are referred to as C1 thru C7 which is short for "cervical 1 thru cervical 7". The neck also has one more bone called the Hyoid bone.
The occipital condyles of the occipital bones articulate with the first cervical vertebra.

The axis, or second cervical vertebra (C2), articulates with two bones: the atlas (C1), which is the first cervical vertebra, and the occipital bone of the skull. The joint between the atlas and axis allows for the rotation of the head, while the connection with the occipital bone facilitates nodding movements.
Seven. The first vertebra being the Atlas and the second being the Axis.
I think there are about 26 vertebrae.
There are 8 cranial bones in the human skull. They include the frontal bone, parietal bones, temporal bones, occipital bone, sphenoid bone, and ethmoid bone.
There are 16 pairs of bones in our backbone. :D
