What bone in the skull form a joint with a atlas?
occipital
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.
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.
What joint connects the atlas to occipital condyle?
The occipital condyles allow the head to turn side to side.
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.
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 is atlanto-occipital joint?
it is one among the craniovertebral joints. it is an ellipsoid type of synovial joint. articulating bones: proximally- occipital condyles. distally- superior articular facests of the atlas. movements: flexion, extension and lateral flexion of neck.
What term best describes the joint at the top of your skull?
The joint at the top of your skull is called the atlanto-occipital joint. It connects the base of your skull (occipital bone) to the top of your spine (atlas bone) allowing for nodding motions of the head.
Which vertebra articulates with the occipital bone?
The first cervical vertebra, called C1 or the atlas, articulates with the occipital bone.
What bone is located at the base of the skull?
There are two joints at the base of the skull: - a condyloid joint between the occipital bone of the skull and the first (C1) vertebra, the atlas. - a pivot joint located between the C1 and C2 cervical vertebrae (atlas and axis).
What is the first vertibrae of the vertibral column called?
The occipital bone?
What is oval-shaped protrusions articulate with atlas?
occipital bone
