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.

Which joints promote rotation of the head?
The joints that promote rotation of the head primarily include the atlantoaxial joint and the atlantooccipital joint. The atlantoaxial joint, located between the first (atlas) and second (axis) cervical vertebrae, allows for the majority of head rotation. The atlantooccipital joint, between the atlas and the skull, facilitates nodding and some degree of rotational movement. Together, these joints enable a wide range of head movements.
Does concave part of Golgi body faces nucleus?
No,concave part face plasma membrane.Convex part face endoplasmic reticulumn.
Hip socket is known as the?
The acetabulum is a concave surface of the pelvis. The head of the femur meets with the pelvis at the acetabulum, forming the hip joint
Are ellipsoid joints the same as condyloid joints?
no it is not. A condyloid joint is more like the ball and socket joint, but more slight. A saddle joint is two concave surfaces on top of each other, like a saddle
What part of a reflecting telescope form the image?

What is the ovoid joint?
an ovoid joint is also called a condyloid joint. It is when one surface is convex and one surface is concave. Example: wrists and proximal knuckles
What mortar joint finish is specified for concrete masonry units?
The specified mortar joint finish for concrete masonry units is typically a concave joint. This finish provides better water drainage and helps to prevent moisture from penetrating the joint, enhancing the durability of the masonry structure. Additionally, a concave joint creates a visually appealing appearance and can help to reduce the accumulation of dirt and debris.

What is the thickest part of a camera lens?
It depends whether it's a concave or convex lens. If it's a convex lens - the thickest part is at the centre. With a concave lens, the thickest part is around the edge.

Tell you all about cisternal puncture?
Passage of a hollow needle through the posterior atlantooccipital membrane into the cisterna cerebellomedullaris. for obtaining csf
What forms a joint with a fossa?
A joint is formed with a fossa when a bone's convex surface fits into the concave depression of the fossa, allowing for articulation and movement. For example, the glenoid cavity (fossa) of the scapula forms a joint with the head of the humerus, creating the shoulder joint. This arrangement enables a range of motion while providing stability to the joint.
Which part of joint describes the shoulder joint?
Ball and Socket joint
