In the cervix
Peripheral neurons are bundled together to make up the 31 pairs.Each pair of nerves is named for the vertebra from which it exits. C1-8. These nerves enter from the eight cervical or neck vertebrae.
Yes, the spinal nerve C8 exits between the C7 and C8 vertebrae. In the cervical region, there are eight cervical spinal nerves (C1 to C8), but only seven cervical vertebrae. Therefore, the C8 nerve root exits below the C7 vertebra and above the C8 vertebra, which is why it is uniquely positioned.

There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves because the first cervical nerve exits above the first cervical vertebra. The remaining spinal nerves exit below their corresponding vertebrae. Therefore, there is one more pair of spinal nerves than there are vertebrae in the spinal column.

Cervical Plexis
There are 7 cervical vertebrae and 8 cervical spinal nerves. This explains why you have 31 spinal nerves relative to the 30 vertebral bones.
The cervical spinal nerves form the cervical plexus, the brachial spinal nerves form the brachial plexus, the lumbar and sacral spinal nerves form the lumbosacral plexus, and the sacral spinal nerves form the sacral plexus.
There are 8 cervical nerves because the first 7 nerves exits on the upper part of the vertebrae making up 7 nerves but then on the 7th vertebrae there's another nerve that exits below the vertebrae thus making up 8 cervical nerves from 7 cervical vertebrae.
