A type of pivot bone is the atlas, which is the first cervical vertebra in the spine. It supports the skull and allows for the rotation of the head, enabling nodding and turning motions. The atlas pivots around the axis, or second cervical vertebra, which contributes to the neck's range of motion. This unique structure is essential for head mobility and stability.
Each individual bone in your back is a vertebra (plural vertebrae).
The bone that bears both inferior and superior aspects is the vertebra. Each vertebra in the spinal column has a superior surface, which articulates with the vertebra above it, and an inferior surface, which connects with the vertebra below. This structure allows for the flexibility and movement of the spine while providing support for the body.

Each bone in my spine is called one "vertebra". Two or more are called "vertebrae".
