What is a yes-yes joint?
The atlanto-occipital joint is commonly referred to as the 'yes-yes' joint.It consists of cervical vertebra number one (CI) and the condyles of the occipital bone on either side of the foramen magnum. They form a gliding joint which allows for movement in several directions, the most famous of these produces the head movement when we say, "Yes".

Which joint is present in the neck region?
The joint between the skull (occipital bone) and first vertebrae (atlas) is a condyloid joint (the condyles are on the occipital bone). This joint allows your head to lean forward and backward. The joint between the first vertebrae and second vertebrae (axis) is a pivot joint, which allows you to turn your head to look left or look right. (The pivot is the dens of the axis.) The other intervertebral joints I do not think fall into a clear classification, although whatever text you are using might try to put them into one category or the other for illustrative purposes. The whole column is basically held together by many ligaments, with discs between each vertebrae, which allows for a wide range of motion. The sacral and coccygeal joints, however, are fused.
