Cervical 1 in the neck.
wrong! It's Axis (Cervical 2)
The odontoid process is named after the Greek word "odonto," which means tooth, because it resembles a tooth in shape. It is a bony projection on the axis bone in the neck that resembles a peg or tooth-like structure.
The odontoid process, also known as the dens, is a projection of the axis bone in the vertebral column. It is an important structure that helps stabilize the atlas bone (C1) and allows for rotational movement of the head. Injuries to the odontoid can be serious and may require surgical intervention.
This is also knows as the Dens.. It is located with the Atlas (c1) and the Axias (c2) it helps with the rotation of the head.
The odontoid process is found on the upper surface of the second vertebra. The odontoid process and together with the first cervical vertebra enables the head to move.
it is called the odontoid
The odontoid process is found on C2, the second cervical vertebra, also known as the axis.
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.
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.
axis the second cervical vertebra.
What's the difference between the female pelvis and the male pelvice
2nd cervical vertebra (axis) has dens (also called odontoid process).
The Odontoid Process is articulated with the C2 vertebrae [Axis] & is a synovial joint-type. The atlas [C1] is also a synovial-type articulation, but is associated with the Occipital Condyle [directly with the skull]
