There are seven cervical (neck) vertebra.
The cervical vertebra number seven is known as the vertebra prominens because it is the most prominent cervical vertebra in the neck, making it easily palpable on the back of the neck. It has a long and prominent spinous process that can be felt beneath the skin, serving as a useful landmark for counting the vertebrae in the cervical region.
