C Spine Anatomy Image

Toggle Anatomy System. Cervical vertebrae are the thinnest and most delicate vertebrae in the spine but offer great flexibility to the neck. The first cervical vertebra, C1, supports the skull and is named “atlas” after the Greek titan who held the Earth on his shoulders. The skull pivots on the atlas when moving up and down.
C7 has a longer spinous process than other vertebrae. If you place your hand at the back of your neck, you can feel this bone protruding through the skin. The cervical spine has 6 intervertebral discs (IVD). They are found between each level starting below C2 (axis).
