the vertebral body (centrum) transfers weight along axis of body
The cervical(neck) vertebrae. The joint formed by C1 and C2, also known as the atlas and axis.
There is only one vertebrae that is considered the axis and that is cervical vertebrae number 2 (C2). The axial skeleton is composed of the skull, facial bones, hyoid bone, the vertebrae, sacrum, and coccyx.
The name of the second vertebrae is called the axis.
Cervical vertebrae may also be called neck bones.
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 vertebral body (centrum) transfers weight along axis of body
The axis supports the weight of the head.
The atlas and axis are among the cervical vertebrae.
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.....
C1 (Atlas) , and C2 ( Axis ) because they are unlike the rest of the Cervical vertebrae.

At the very top of the spine are the atlas and axis vertebrae. Beneath them are the cervical vertebrae of the neck, which connect to the dorsal vertebrae of the back. Next are the lumbar vertebrae near the base of the spine, which terminate at the sacrum and coccyx.
