The anterior aspect of C1 articulates with the odontoid process, also known as the dens, of the axis (C2 vertebra). This forms the atlantoaxial joint, which allows for rotation of the head.
Where did the odontoid process come from developmentally?
The odontoid process, also known as the dens, is derived from the first cervical vertebra (C1), which is called the atlas. During development, the dens of the axis (C2) separates from the atlas and forms as a distinct bony process.
