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 else can I help you with?
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's articulate with the atlas?
The atlas articulates with the axis. The atlas is the first cervical vertebra and articulates with the skull superiorly, and the axis (the second cervical vertebra) inferiorly. The joint between the atlas and axis, dubbed the atlanto-axial joint, is responsible for the increased range of motion of the skull (turning your head left/right, and nodding up/down).The order of the atlas and axis can be remembered because, beginning from the skull, these two cervical vertebrae are in alphabetical order (aTlas then aXis).
What articulates with the vertebral column?
It articulates with each vertebra. Plus the occipital bone of the skull and the 12 pairs of ribs.
What joint connects the atlas to occipital condyle?
The occipital condyles allow the head to turn side to side.
Describe the skeletal features at the point where the vertebral column articulates with the skull?
The point where the vertebral column articulates with the skull is called the atlanto-occipital joint. This joint consists of the occipital condyles of the skull articulating with the atlas (C1 vertebra). It allows for nodding or "yes" motion of the head.
What articulates with the occiptal condyles?
The atlas articulates with the occiptal condyles.
What bone is the cranium connected to?
The Atlas
What other bones connect to the vertebral column?
The occipital bone at the base of the skull articulates with the atlas (C1) of the spine. The other bones that connect to the vertebral column are the 12 pairs of ribs.
Which vertebrae does not have a body or spinous process?
The first cervical vertebra (C1), also known as the atlas, does not have a body or a spinous process. It has a ring-like structure that articulates with the skull and the axis (C2 vertebra).
Which vertebra articulates with the occipital bone?
The first cervical vertebra, called C1 or the atlas, articulates with the occipital bone.
The obturator formen is part of what bone?
Occipital bone in the skull. the obturator foramen is where your skull articulates with the vertebral column.
What type of joint articulates the bones of the skull?
The lambdoid suture articulates with the parietal and occipital bone of the skull. Joint is another name for suture when talking about 2 bones connecting in skull.
