It's the first cervical vertebra located just beneath the skull
The muscle is from your clavical to your skull. The insertion of the muscle it's attachment to the skull.
There is only one vertebrae that is considered the axis and that is cervical vertebrae number 2 (C2). The axial skeleton is composed of the skull, facial bones, hyoid bone, the vertebrae, sacrum, and coccyx.
The space between skull and first vertebrae would have a pivotal joint.
it is supported by your vertebrae in your back
Vertebrae.
The vertebral column and skull is another description for the spinal column. See the related link for more information. The entire vertebral column consists of the skull, the 33 vertebrae and the ribcage.
The tag 'C' means the 'cervical' section of the spine, which is the first section at the top of the spine ... the first group of vertebrae right under the skull. There are seven cervical vertebrae, (unless you've had C4 thru C7 fused, like me), and then the thoracic section starts. 'C3' means the third vertebra down from the skull. That pointy bone sticking out at the bottom of your neck/top of your back is 'T1'. All the vertebrae above that are in the cervical section.
Yes. Anything with vertebrae will be classified as a vertebrate. There are exceptions where some animals have undergone a secondary loss of vertebrae. However, they are still classified as a vertebrate because they have a skull, and scientists have figured out that skulls were first derived from vertebrae.
The vertebrae in the neck region are called cervical vertebrae. There are seven cervical vertebrae labeled C1 to C7, with C1 being closest to the skull and C7 being closest to the thoracic vertebrae.
