The axis, or second cervical vertebra (C2), articulates with two bones: the atlas (C1), which is the first cervical vertebra, and the occipital bone of the skull. The joint between the atlas and axis allows for the rotation of the head, while the connection with the occipital bone facilitates nodding movements.
