What is the first bone of the cervical column?
The vertebrae are the backbones. The cervical vertebrae are at the top. The skull rests on and turns on the first cervical vertebra, called "C1". C1 is tied to the second cervical vertebra, called "C2", which allows, the head to turn far to each side by a special arrangement of bone and ligaments. C3, C4, and C5 are regular vertebrae, but smaller than those further down the spine.
What cervical vertebrae is the atlas on?
The atlas is the first cervical vertebra (C1). It is named this because it is a large ring and holds the base of the skull. Atlas carried the "world on his shoulders" and the name fit.
