There are seven cervical (C1-C7) vertebrae. The top two are unique in form and number three through seven are similar in morphology. The uppermost is the atlas (C1) which supports the skull, and the next is the axis (C2), where much if the rotation takes place. The body of the atlas is the odontoid process of the axis (c2), and the atlas (c1) rotates around this.
What else can I help you with?
Seven components unfused?
cervical vertebra
What is the name of C1 vertebra?
Cervical 1 vertebrae
What is another name for the second cervical vertebra?
The name of the second vertebrae is called the axis.
What vertebra has seven components?

How many cervical vertebrae does a snake have?

Why is there a C8 vertebrae?
The C8 vertebra is not a true vertebra but rather an anatomical and numerical anomaly in the human cervical spine. It is an occasional variation seen in some individuals where there is an extra rib arising from the seventh cervical vertebra. This condition is known as a cervical rib.
What vertebra would you find the odontoid process?
axis the second cervical vertebra.
Which cranial bone houses the condyles that articulate with first cervical vertebra?
The occipital condyles of the occipital bones articulate with the first cervical vertebra.
What are distinguishing features of a cervical vertebra?
Transverse foramina (on all cervical vertebrae) and bifid spinous process on C2-C6
The first cervical vertebra is called the axis?
Actually, the first cervical vertebra is called the atlas, not the axis. The axis is the second cervical vertebra that forms a pivot joint with the atlas, allowing for rotation of the head from side to side.
Which structural feature of the seventh cervical vertebra forms the vertebra prominens?
spinous process
