The atlas (C1) is the vertebra that has no body. It is the uppermost cervical vertebra and is specialized for supporting the skull's weight and allowing for the nodding motion of the head.
Since the dens is part of the Axis vertebra (and project up in the first vertebra, the Atlas vertebra that supports the skull) it is called the Dens Axis
The atlas (C1 vertebra) does not have a body. It is the topmost vertebra of the spine and is responsible for supporting the skull's weight and allowing for the nodding motion of the head.
It is the the most superior (first) cervical vertebra of the spine.
the two vertebra that attach the skull to the spine are the axis and atlas also referred to as C1 and C2

Myxini (hagfishes) are chordates and craniates. they have a cartillagenous skull but no vertebra or jaws.
The vertebra that does not have a body is the atlas, or the first cervical vertebra (C1). It supports the skull and allows for the nodding motion of the head. Instead of a typical vertebral body, the atlas has an anterior and posterior arch, facilitating its unique function in the spine.
