Cervical vertebrae can be identified by their distinct features: they are smaller and have a unique structure with transverse foramina in the transverse processes, which allow for the passage of vertebral arteries. The first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas (C1) and axis (C2), have specialized shapes that enable pivotal head movements. Additionally, cervical vertebrae typically have a bifid spinous process, except for C7, which has a longer, non-bifid spinous process.
