yes. the atlas and axis, or C1 and C2, do not have an intervertebral disc, nor an intervertebral foramen, between them. C1 looks like an oval. it has two lateral masses (no vertebral body) where it makes contact with the occiput and C2. the inferior articular facets of the C1 and the superior articular facets of C2 form 2 joints, one on each side. there is also a third joint formed by the dens, or odontoid process, of C2 and the interior of the anterior arch of C1. this is the joint you use to shake your head "no".

Write the Cervical spine structures are fused or unfused?

The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae (C1 to C7) that are unfused, allowing for a significant range of motion and flexibility in the neck. Each vertebra is separated by intervertebral discs, which provide cushioning and support. The first two vertebrae, C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis), have specialized structures that enable the rotation of the head. Overall, the unfused nature of these vertebrae is crucial for various neck movements.
