Bones connect to one another in joints which are referred to as articulations. Your head, or skull, has a bone at its base called the occipital bone. It articulates with the first cervical vertebrae, at the top of your neck, called the atlas, or C1. The two join together to form the atlanto-occipital joint which is a gliding joint sometimes called the yes-yes joint because it allows for movement of your head from side to side. Just like when you are saying 'yes.'
