Which cranial bone houses the condyles that articulate with first cervical vertebra?
The occipital condyles of the occipital bones articulate with the first cervical vertebra.
Its oval-shaped protrusions articulate with the atlas?
The occipital condyles are oval-shaped structures on the occipital bone that articulate with the superior facets of the atlas (C1 vertebrae). This joint, called the atlanto-occipital joint, allows for flexion and extension of the head.
The occipital articulates with the first vertebra at what location?
condyles
What part of atlanto-occipital joint is concave?
The occipital condyles of the skull, which are located at the base of the occipital bone, are concave and articulate with the superior articular facets of the atlas (C1 vertebra) at the atlanto-occipital joint. This concave-convex articulation allows for flexion and extension movements of the head.
What joint connects the atlas to occipital condyle?
The occipital condyles allow the head to turn side to side.
What is the rounded processes on the skull that articulate with the atlas?
Occipital condyles
What region of the skull articulates with the atlas?
The region of the skull that articulates with the atlas is the occipital bone, specifically the occipital condyles. These condyles are oval-shaped projections located on either side of the foramen magnum at the base of the skull, allowing the atlas (the first cervical vertebra) to connect with the skull and facilitate nodding movements of the head.
What articulates with atlas superiorly?
The atlas (C1 vertebra) articulates superiorly with the occipital condyles of the skull. This connection allows for the nodding motion of the head, enabling the "yes" movement. The joint formed between the atlas and the occipital condyles is known as the atlanto-occipital joint.
Supports the head allows a rocking motion in conjunction with the occipital condyles?
atlas
The joint between the atlas C1 and occipital bone that produces yes movement is classified as?
The joint between the atlas (C1) and the occipital bone that allows for the "yes" movement (nodding the head) is classified as a condyloid joint. This type of joint permits flexion and extension, allowing the head to tilt forward and backward. The articulation between the rounded condyles of the occipital bone and the superior articular facets of the atlas facilitates this movement.
Which vertebral structure supports the head and allows the rocking motion of the occipital condyles?
atlas
What is the spanish word for occipital bone?
Hueso Occipital (Hueso = bone) (Occipital = the same)
