The bones in the neck are called the cervical vertebrae. The first cervical vertebrae, C1, is called the atlas because it holds up the weight of the head. The second cervical vertebrae, C2, is called the axis because it allows side-to-side movement.
The anatomic neck of the humerus bone is the constriction below the head of the bone, while the surgical neck is a narrower part located below the tubercles.
A "head". For example, the head of the humerus or head of the femur.
# Hinge joints allow movement in one direction, as seen in the knees and elbows. # Pivot joints allow a rotating or twisting motion, like that of the head moving from side to side. # Ball-and-socket joints allow the greatest freedom of movement. The hips and shoulders have this type of joint, in which the round end of a long bone fits into the hollow of another bone.
There are two. They are at the point where the femurs and the pelvis join.
The shoulder and hip joints are examples of ball and socket joints in the human body. The rounded head of one bone fits into the cup-like socket of another, allowing for a wide range of motion in multiple directions. These joints provide stability and support for movements like rotation, flexion, and extension.
The head bone's connected to the neck bone...

The Cervical (neck) vertebrae.
Joints are the place where two bones meet. All of your bones, except for one (the hyoid bone in your neck), form a joint with another bone. Joints hold your bones together and allow your rigid skeleton to move. Hope this helps?! :)

becus they have a specil bone in there neck
A crash can cause your head to whip back and forth. This is hard on the muscles, bones, and joints in the neck.
You would call it a neck bone, I suppose, but the "Neck Bone" has many other bones with it. Though it is all made up as the Cervical vertebrae

It is. In fact, it is your shoulder which is right under your neck.
The neck is indeed a gliding joint. This is because it does not have to move in rigid movements in any particular direction.
