What is another name for the vertebrae?
Cervical vertebrae may also be called neck bones.
The first cervical vertebra is called the axis?
Yes it is called the atlas
Which cervical vertebrae form the atlantoxial joint?
The first and second cervical vertebrae form the atlantoaxial joint. These bones are known as the atlas and the axis.
What is the difference between atlas and axis?
1.atlas has no vertebral body and spinous process since axis has both. 2.atlas form movement to indicated ''yes'',axis is moving the hed to signify ''no''.
Name the first and second bones at the top of the spine?
Atlas and Axis
Where are pivot joints found in?
Between the atlas and the axis
How many bones in cervical spine?
Seven. The first vertebra being the Atlas and the second being the Axis.
What is the typical vertebral surface not found in the atlas?
Body of the vertebra. It is fused with the Axis vertebra. Axis being the second vertebra.
Why is the axis important to humans?
The axis is the second of the seven bones in the cervical spine (neck). The axis, also known as the C2 bone, creates a pivot that allows the C1, or atlas, to turn. It has a tooth like structure that allows the first bone called the atlas to turn. Since the skull actually is held up by the atlas, this joint allows the person to turn their head.
Which group of vertebrae includes the atlas and axis?
The atlas and axis are among the cervical vertebrae.
Which two bones form the articulation that allows rotation of the head?
Two vertebrae in the cervical section of the vertebral column call the axis and the atlas.
Which bone helps the rotation of the head?
Rotation of the head occurs between the atlas and the axis bones. These are the first two cervical vertebrae.
What is the pivot joint bone in the neck called?
The pivot joint in the neck the atlantoaxial joint, and it is at C1 and C2. These bones are also called the atlas and the axis.
What is another name for the vertebrae?
Cervical vertebrae may also be called neck bones.
The first cervical vertebra is called the axis?
Yes it is called the atlas
What bone's articulate with the atlas?
The atlas articulates with the axis. The atlas is the first cervical vertebra and articulates with the skull superiorly, and the axis (the second cervical vertebra) inferiorly. The joint between the atlas and axis, dubbed the atlanto-axial joint, is responsible for the increased range of motion of the skull (turning your head left/right, and nodding up/down).The order of the atlas and axis can be remembered because, beginning from the skull, these two cervical vertebrae are in alphabetical order (aTlas then aXis).
