What else can I help you with?
Which vertebra articulates with the occipital bone?
The first cervical vertebra, called C1 or the atlas, articulates with the occipital bone.
What does the occipital condyle articulate with?
The occipital condyle articulates with the first cervical vertebra (atlas) to form the atlanto-occipital joint. This joint allows for nodding movements of the head.
What bone of the skull articulates with the atlas?
The occipital bone of the skull articulates with the atlas, which is the first cervical vertebra. This joint allows for the nodding motion of the head.
What bone feature of the second cervical vertebrae articulates with the first cervical vertebrae?
The odontoid process, also known as the dens, is the bone feature of the second cervical vertebrae that articulates with the first cervical vertebrae. This connection forms the atlantoaxial joint, which allows for rotation of the head.
What two bones articulate with the axis?
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.
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 region of the skull articulates with the atlas?
The region of the skull that articulates with the atlas is the occipital bone, specifically the occipital condyles. These condyles are oval-shaped projections located on either side of the foramen magnum at the base of the skull, allowing the atlas (the first cervical vertebra) to connect with the skull and facilitate nodding movements of the head.
What articulation between skull and first vertebra?
occipital condyle
Which vertebrae forms a joint with the hip bone?
The fifth lumbar vertebra articulates with the first fused sacral vertebra of the pelvic girdle.
What bone is the cranium connected to?
The Atlas
The occipital condyles lay on which bone?
The occipital condyles "lay on", or articulate with, the lateral masses of the first cervical vertebra, also known as atlas.
What is the bone that support the skull?
The bone that supports the skull is the atlas, which is the first cervical vertebra. It sits directly below the skull and allows for the nodding motion of the head. The atlas articulates with the occipital condyles of the skull, providing a crucial connection between the head and the spinal column.
