When the head is moved from side to side the first vertebrae pivots around the what of the second vertebrae?
When the head is moved from side to side, the first vertebra (atlas) pivots around the dens (odontoid process) of the second vertebra (axis). This motion allows for the rotation and flexibility of the neck.
How far down the spinal cord does the spinal cord extend?
