In the cervical and thoracic area of your spine.
The cervical vertebrae starts right under your skull (following what's called the occipital foramen/foramen magnum). There are 7 cervical verterbrae and they end aproximatively under your neck (in the place where you feel a small circular prominence).
Right under there are the thoracic vertebrae, in the number of 12.
They end, let's say, at the upper part of your lower back.
The cervical vertebrae are those vertebrae which are found immediantly inferior to the skull.
A feature that distinguishes the cervical vertebrae from the thoracic and lumbar are the bifurcated spinous processes. C1(atlas) and C2 (axis) are also unique-looking vertebrae.
Cervical vertebrae are smaller as compared to thoracic and lumber vertebrae. Each of them have foramen tranversarium in there lateral process.
They are located in your backbone.

cervical vertebrae
The human cervical spine is made up of seven vertebrae. In fact, nearly all mammals have seven cervical vertebrae, even giraffes.
the first 7 vertebrae, the neck vertebrae, are considered to be cervical
The cervical spine is made up of seven cervical vertebrae. These are numbered(C1-C7) and are the smallest of the true vertebrae. The third through sixth cervical vertebrae have characteristics in common. The first, second, and seventh are considered special cervical vertebrae, and have different characteristics.
In a human it is 7 vertebrae that make up the bones in the neck. Additional "factoids": Giraffes also have only 7 vertebrae in their necks/cervical spine, the difference is each one can be ten inches long! Swans can have as many as 25 vertebral bones in the neck and amphibians can have only one. There are 7 vertebra in the cervical region.
cervical vertebrae
Horses have 7 cervical vertebrae. In fact, most mammals have 7 cervical vertebrae, even giraffes, the bigger the animal the bigger the vertebrae. There are a few exceptions: Sloths have 8 or 9 cervical vertebrae while manatees have only six!
The moose has seven cervical vertebrae.Almost all mammals have seven cervical vertebrae. The only exceptions are manatees and sloths.

there are 7 cervical vertebrae in a cat.
only one special cervical vertebra and it is call the atlas.

The atlas and axis are among the cervical vertebrae.

Yes. Almost all mammals have 7 cervical vertebre, The only exceptions are the manatee and the 2-toed sloth. They only have 6 cervical vertebrae. The 3-toed sloth has 9 cervical vertebrae. (Dr. Ward Chiropractor. Thank you Chip Morter, I was FINALLY was able to use this information).
