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.
What else can I help you with?
What does the calcaneus articulates with?
Anteriorly with the cuboid and superiorly with the talus.
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).
What articulates with the occiptal condyles?
The atlas articulates with the occiptal condyles.
Which vertebra articulates with the occipital bone?
The first cervical vertebra, called C1 or the atlas, articulates with the occipital bone.
What bone of the skull articulates with the atlas?
The occipital bone of the skull articulates with the atlas, which is the first cervical vertebra. This joint allows for the nodding motion of the head.
Temporal bones articulates with what?
The temporal bones articulate with the parietal bones superiorly, the sphenoid bone anteriorly, the occipital bone posteriorly, and the zygomatic bones laterally.
What does the occipital condyle articulate with?
The occipital condyle articulates with the first cervical vertebra (atlas) to form the atlanto-occipital joint. This joint allows for nodding movements of the head.
What articulates with the vertebral column?
It articulates with each vertebra. Plus the occipital bone of the skull and the 12 pairs of ribs.
What bone is the cranium connected to?
The Atlas
Which vertebrae does not have a body or spinous process?
The first cervical vertebra (C1), also known as the atlas, does not have a body or a spinous process. It has a ring-like structure that articulates with the skull and the axis (C2 vertebra).
Describe the skeletal features at the point where the vertebral column articulates with the skull?
The point where the vertebral column articulates with the skull is called the atlanto-occipital joint. This joint consists of the occipital condyles of the skull articulating with the atlas (C1 vertebra). It allows for nodding or "yes" motion of the head.
What is the scientific name of first vertibrae of vertibral column?
The atlas, otherwise known as vertebrae C1 for Cervical vertebrae 1. It articulates with C2, the axis, forming the atlanto-axial joint. It also articulates with the occipital bone via the occipital chondyle, facilitating the "yes" movement of the head.
