The cervical spine, also known as the cervical column or neck vertebrae, is the uppermost section of the vertebral column in terrestrial vertebrates. It is located in the neck and supports the head. In humans, the cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae, commonly designated as C1 through C7. These vertebrae are distinct from those in the thoracic and lumbar regions due to their smaller size and the presence of transverse foramina, which are holes in the transverse processes that transmit the vertebral arteries.
The topmost vertebra, C1, is called the atlas. It is ring-shaped and lacks a vertebral body and
The remaining cervical vertebrae, C3 through C7, exhibit more typical vertebral structures with bodies, pedicles, laminae,
