How many cervical vertebrae are there?
the first 7 vertebrae, the neck vertebrae, are considered to be cervical
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]
Which cervical vertebrae form the atlantoxial joint?
The atlantoxial joint is formed by the first and second cervical vertebrae, known as the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) respectively. It allows for rotational movement of the head.
The cervical spine is made up of how many cervical vertebrae?
The cervical spine is made up of seven cervical vertebrae. These are numbered(C1-C7) and are the smallest of the true vertebrae. The third through sixth cervical vertebrae have characteristics in common. The first, second, and seventh are considered special cervical vertebrae, and have different characteristics.
What bone feature of the second cervical vertebrae articulates with the first cervical vertebrae?
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.

What vertebrae contains the joint that allows you to rotate your head no?
The cervical(neck) vertebrae. The joint formed by C1 and C2, also known as the atlas and axis.
What are the names of the five different types of vertebrae in the vertebral column?
Vertebrae are divided into sections: the atlas and axis account for the first cervical vertebrae, of which there are 7 in total; there are 12 thoracic vertebrae, 7 lumbar vertebrae, 1 sacrum (5 separate vertebrae in a baby), and 1 coccyx (4 separate vertebrae in a baby).
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 are the different vertebrae in the back bone?
You have 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumber vertebrae, 1 sacrum and 1 coccyx. The first cervical vertebra is called as atlas vertebra. The second one is called as axis vertebra.
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.
Cervical vertebrae?
First seven vertrebrae. Develps an anterior curvature. Labeled C1 to C7. Supports the weight of the head. First two vertebrae have special names.
