What are the small bones called that make up the spine?
This is a tricky question as it is not clear which end of the spine we are referring to. At the head end there is a bone or vertebra upon which the head is resting this is known as the atlas, it does not have a body and its centrum fuses with the axis to provide a pivot for the head to turn on. At the other end of the spine - the tail end the last bones are fused together to form the coccyx, the number may vary from 3 to 5. These bones are rudimanetary and are usually fused together.
What is found only in the cervical vertebrae?
In the cervical and thoracic area of your spine. The cervical vertebrae starts right under your skull (following what's called the occipital foramen/foramen magnum). There are 7 cervical verterbrae and they end aproximatively under your neck (in the place where you feel a small circular prominence). Right under there are the thoracic vertebrae, in the number of 12. They end, let's say, at the upper part of your lower back.
Why are dislocations and fractures more common in the cervical vertebrae?
The cervical vertebrae are the smallest and most mobile vertebrae in the spine, making them more susceptible to injury. The neck region is also more exposed and vulnerable to trauma due to its position and function in supporting the head. Additionally, the cervical spine is required to support the weight of the head and facilitate a wide range of movement, increasing the risk of dislocations and fractures.
