What type of joint is formed between the atlas and odontoid process?
The Odontoid Process is articulated with the C2 vertebrae [Axis] & is a synovial joint-type. The atlas [C1] is also a synovial-type articulation, but is associated with the Occipital Condyle [directly with the skull]
Nodding your head yes represents movement of which type of joint?
The atlanto-occipital joint. This is the articulation between the atlas (C1) and the occipital bone.
What is atlanto-occipital joint?
it is one among the craniovertebral joints. it is an ellipsoid type of synovial joint. articulating bones: proximally- occipital condyles. distally- superior articular facests of the atlas. movements: flexion, extension and lateral flexion of neck.
What joint is between occipital bone and C1 vertebra?
The name of the joint that is between C1 & C2 is the atlantoaxial joint. C1 is the atlas and C2 is the axis. The type of joint is called a pivot joint, and often referred to as the no-no joint, because it is used to rotate your head left and right, as in saying 'no'.
How is your skull attached to your spine?
There is a bone at the lower and posterior part of the skull called the occipital bone, which, along with the atlas and the axis (the topmost vertebrae) forms the joint connecting the skull and spine. Answer provided by Migue Antonio.-

What bone in the skull form a joint with a atlas?
occipital
What part of the occipital bone forms a joint with the atlas?
It is one of the atlanto-occipital joints which is a subcategory of the craniovertebral joints. It aids in the nodding of the head.

What bone connects to the head?
Bones connect to one another in joints which are referred to as articulations. Your head, or skull, has a bone at its base called the occipital bone. It articulates with the first cervical vertebrae, at the top of your neck, called the atlas, or C1. The two join together to form the atlanto-occipital joint which is a gliding joint sometimes called the yes-yes joint because it allows for movement of your head from side to side. Just like when you are saying 'yes.'
What joint is between occipital bone and C1 vertebra?
The name of the joint that is between C1 & C2 is the atlantoaxial joint. C1 is the atlas and C2 is the axis. The type of joint is called a pivot joint, and often referred to as the no-no joint, because it is used to rotate your head left and right, as in saying 'no'.
What kind of joint is at the base of the scull?
The base of the skull has a joint called the atlanto-occipital joint. It is a gliding joint that is between the occipital condyles of the occipital bone and the first cervical vertebra (C1). This type of joint is also called a synovial joint, or a freely movable joint. Another designation is diarthrotic joint.
Is the lambdoidal suture in the skull a immovable joint?
Yes, the lambdoidal suture is an immovable fibrous joint in the human skull. It connects the parietal bones to the occipital bone and provides stability and protection to the brain.
What is a knuckle like process that always occurs at a joint?
condyle

What is the scientific name of first vertibrae of vertibral column?
The atlas, otherwise known as vertebrae C1 for Cervical vertebrae 1. It articulates with C2, the axis, forming the atlanto-axial joint. It also articulates with the occipital bone via the occipital chondyle, facilitating the "yes" movement of the head.
