The joint here is a synovial pivot joint allowing for rotation in the transverse plane. THis means its the joint that allows you to turn your head form side to side.

Are axis and atlas part of cervical vertebra?
The Atlas is designed to allow a nodding movement, whilst the axis below it has the odontoid peg on it to allow shaking, or rotational movement of the skull.
What type of movement occurs between the atlas and the dens of the axis?
There is rotation of head around the dens of the axis. Dens is actually derived from the body of the atlas vertebra.
What is the difference between atlas and axis?
1.atlas has no vertebral body and spinous process since axis has both. 2.atlas form movement to indicated ''yes'',axis is moving the hed to signify ''no''.
What are the two most superior vertebrae?
The two most superior vertebrae are CERVICAL vertebrae 1 and 2 (C1 and C2). They are also known as the Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2). These two vertebra join together to form the atlantoaxial joint, which helps with the movement of the neck. A structure on the axis called the dens (odontoid process) fits through a foramen (hole) in the atlas to join them together.
Where is your pivot joint in your face located?
There is only one pivot joint in the body and it is located in the neck. It is the joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae also known as atlas and axis respectively. Axis has a the "peg" part of the pivot projecting upwards and atlas has the hole around it. This is the joint that allows the heart to rotate left to right.There are two pivot joints. One between C1 and C2 of the vertebrae. The second in the forearm between the ulna and radius.

The backbone in the regions of the neck are?
Cervical vertabrae or axis and atlas
Hard backbone in the region of the neck are the?
Cervical vertabrae or axis and atlas

What is atypical vertebrae of neck?
C1 (Atlas) , and C2 ( Axis ) because they are unlike the rest of the Cervical vertebrae.
What is the vertebra of the neck?
The vertebrae in the neck are called cervicle vertebrae. There are 6 of them altogether. The first two (going downward from the skull) are called the atlas and the axis. The rest are just name by their order. Eg: C1 (Atlas), C2 (Axis), C3, C4.....
What is the pivot joint bone in the neck called?
The pivot joint in the neck the atlantoaxial joint, and it is at C1 and C2. These bones are also called the atlas and the axis.
Which type of joint is your neck joint?
Pivot joint formed between the atlas and the axis (first two vertebrae)
What is atypical about the atlas bone?
The atlas is the very top vertebra in your spine. The head or skull rests on it, and is allowed to move in many directions. The atlas sits upon the axis vertebra - between them, they allow much more rotational movement than do other vertebrae. Also, the actual brain stem extends down into the atlas/axis pair. The spinal cord begins at the bottom of the axis bone.
