The surface of the superior articular will work right above the inferior surface in a vertebra. This is not true in the atlas.
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).

The spinous process is found on the posterior surface of most vertebrae.
Which vertebral part is most anterior in location?

What bones are connected to the latissimus dorsi?

Which vertebra does not have a spinous process?
Cervical vertebrae have a bifurcated spinous process.
Where is the rhomboid major?
The rhomboid major is a muscle located in the upper back, beneath the trapezius muscle. It originates from the spinous processes of the T2 to T5 vertebrae and inserts into the medial border of the scapula, between the spine and the inferior angle. This muscle plays a key role in retracting and stabilizing the scapula.
Which vertebrae don't have a spinous process?
C-1 (Atlas)
What is the distance between the vertebral border of the scapula to the spinous process of the spine?
3 inches

What is the vertebral type with a forked spinous process?
In the cervical spine, the C2-C6 vertebrae generally have bifid spinous proceses.

the transverse process and the articular process also spinous process
What is the The pointed projection that extends posteriorly from the fused lamina of vertebrae?
