The axis has a dens, which provides a pivot for the atlas.
The cervical vertebrae, specifically the second cervical vertebra (C2) known as the axis, bear a peg-shaped dens (odontoid process) that acts as a pivot for rotation of the atlas (C1) and allows for the turning of the head from side to side.
There is rotation of head around the dens of the axis. Dens is actually derived from the body of the atlas vertebra.
The dens is found on the second cervical vertebra only.
The embryonic body of the atlas fuses with the axis to form the odontoid process or dens. This process helps to stabilize the joint between the atlas and axis, allowing for rotation of the head.
Since the dens is part of the Axis vertebra (and project up in the first vertebra, the Atlas vertebra that supports the skull) it is called the Dens Axis
The axis (C2) bears a peg-shaped dens that acts as a pivot, it is part of the cervical vertebrae.
