What Vertebra has a forked spinous process?
The seventh cervical vertebra (C7) is known to have a forked spinous process making it easily distinguishable from the other cervical vertebrae. This unique feature is commonly referred to as the vertebra prominens.
How the 7th cervical vertebrae not bifid?
The 7th cervical vertebra, also known as the vertebra prominens, is unique in that it typically has a larger and more prominent spinous process compared to other cervical vertebrae. Unlike the bifid spinous processes seen in the 2nd to 6th cervical vertebrae, the 7th cervical vertebra's spinous process is usually non-bifid and projects straight out, making it easily palpable. This anatomical feature aids in its identification during physical examinations. The absence of bifidity is believed to be related to its role in providing stability and attachment for muscles and ligaments.
What bone feature of the second cervical vertebrae articulates with the first cervical vertebrae?
The odontoid process, also known as the dens, is the bone feature of the second cervical vertebrae that articulates with the first cervical vertebrae. This connection forms the atlantoaxial joint, which allows for rotation of the head.
Does C1 atlas have a transverse foramen?

What is the function of the axis in the vertebra?

Determine from what part of the spinal column the vertebra in the photograph comes. How can you tell?
Unfortunately there is no photograph attached. However, it would be easy for anyone trained to tell which spinal column can be seen considering they would know the different characteristics that everyday people are unaware of.
The axis is the only vertebra with?
The axis is the second cervical vertebra (C2) and has a unique feature called the odontoid process or dens, which projects superiorly from its body. This structure allows the atlas (C1) to pivot around the axis, enabling the movement of the head from side to side.
What is an anticlinal vertebra?
An anticlinal vertebra is a type of spinal vertebra with a unique feature where the spinal processes align horizontally rather than vertically. This horizontal alignment can lead to complications in the spine's flexibility and movement.
