It bears the compressive forces that hold up the bodies weight
The body or centrum of the vertebra bears the most weight
The atlas (C1 vertebra) does not have a body. It is the topmost vertebra of the spine and is responsible for supporting the skull's weight and allowing for the nodding motion of the head.
The body (or centrum): the rounded central portion of the vertebra, which faces anteriorly in the human vertebral column.The body (or centrum): the rounded central portion of the vertebra, which faces anteriorly in the human vertebral column.
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 C5 vertebra is the fifth cervical vertebra in the neck, located just below the C4 vertebra and above the C6 vertebra. It plays a crucial role in supporting the head and allowing for neck movement. Injuries to the C5 vertebra can affect motor and sensory functions in the upper body.

The atlas (C1) is the vertebra that has no body. It is the uppermost cervical vertebra and is specialized for supporting the skull's weight and allowing for the nodding motion of the head.
The body or centrum of the vertebra bears the most weight
Body of the vertebra. It is fused with the Axis vertebra. Axis being the second vertebra.
The atlas (C1 vertebra) does not have a body. It is the topmost vertebra of the spine and is responsible for supporting the skull's weight and allowing for the nodding motion of the head.
The axis is the second cervical vertebra in the spine, located just below the atlas (the first cervical vertebra). It is named after its function as it allows the head to rotate on top of the spine.

The atlas, or the first vertebra. It pretty much has no body or spine.
The largest vertebra in the human body is the lumbar vertebra, specifically the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5). It is larger than other vertebrae to support the weight of the upper body and bear the strain of movement and load. The lumbar vertebrae are crucial for mobility and stability in the lower back.
Spondylolisthesis is the forward displacement of one vertebra over the one beneath it. It commonly occurs in the lower lumbar region, especially between the fifth lumbar vertebra and the first sacral vertebra (L5-S1).
