a vertebrea in your neck. There are seven
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.
The most prominent bone in the posterior cervical region is the cervical vertebra C7, also known as the vertebra prominens, as it has a prominent spinous process that can be easily palpated in most individuals.
Bone marrow edema in the cervical spine refers to a condition where there is swelling or fluid accumulation in the bone marrow of the cervical vertebrae. This can be caused by various factors such as injury, inflammation, or degenerative changes. It can lead to pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion in the neck.
No it doesn't. The atlas is the first cervical vertebra and the only one with no spinous process.
The occipital bone of the skull articulates with the atlas, which is the first cervical vertebra. This joint allows for the nodding motion of the head.

Cervical 1 in the neck. wrong! It's Axis (Cervical 2)
You would call it a neck bone, I suppose, but the "Neck Bone" has many other bones with it. Though it is all made up as the Cervical vertebrae
There are seven bones in the neck that make up what is called the "Cervical vertebrae". They are referred to as C1 thru C7 which is short for "cervical 1 thru cervical 7". The neck also has one more bone called the Hyoid bone.
I think there are about 26 vertebrae.
C7. (The seventh cervical vertebra.)
The hyoid bone is at the level/in line with the third cervical (C3) vertebra.
The most prominent bone in the posterior cervical region is the cervical vertebra C7, also known as the vertebra prominens, as it has a prominent spinous process that can be easily palpated in most individuals.
There are seven cervical (neck) vertebra.
The first cervical vertebra, called C1 or the atlas, articulates with the occipital bone.
Bone marrow edema in the cervical spine refers to a condition where there is swelling or fluid accumulation in the bone marrow of the cervical vertebrae. This can be caused by various factors such as injury, inflammation, or degenerative changes. It can lead to pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion in the neck.
The occipital condyles of the occipital bones articulate with the first cervical vertebra.
