Where did the odontoid process come from developmentally?
The odontoid process, also known as the dens, is derived from the first cervical vertebra (C1), which is called the atlas. During development, the dens of the axis (C2) separates from the atlas and forms as a distinct bony process.
What is o odontoid?
The odontoid process, also known as the dens, is a projection of the axis bone in the vertebral column. It is an important structure that helps stabilize the atlas bone (C1) and allows for rotational movement of the head. Injuries to the odontoid can be serious and may require surgical intervention.
What vertebra has a dens?
2nd cervical vertebra (axis) has dens (also called odontoid process).
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.
What is the dens odontoid process?
Since the dens is part of the Axis vertebra (and project up in the first vertebra, the Atlas vertebra that supports the skull) it is called the Dens Axis
Where is the odontoid process found?
The odontoid process is found on the upper surface of the second vertebra. The odontoid process and together with the first cervical vertebra enables the head to move.
On what vertebra would you find the odontoid process?
The odontoid process is found on C2, the second cervical vertebra, also known as the axis.
What is the articulation of the anterior aspect of the c1 and the odontoid?
The anterior aspect of C1 articulates with the odontoid process, also known as the dens, of the axis (C2 vertebra). This forms the atlantoaxial joint, which allows for rotation of the head.

What type of joint is formed between the atlas and odontoid process?
The Odontoid Process is articulated with the C2 vertebrae [Axis] & is a synovial joint-type. The atlas [C1] is also a synovial-type articulation, but is associated with the Occipital Condyle [directly with the skull]
Bone that has the odontoid process?
This is also knows as the Dens.. It is located with the Atlas (c1) and the Axias (c2) it helps with the rotation of the head.
