- general vertebral type containing foramina in the transverseprocesses, through which the vertebral arteries ascend to reach thebrain
- dens is located on this bone and provides a pivot for rotationof the first cervical vertebrae
- transverse processes are shaped for articulation with the ribsand the spinous process points sharply downward
- a composite/fused bone that articulates with the hip bone onits lateral sides
- massive vertebrae that sustain much of the weight of thevertebral column
- the "tail bone" containing fused vertebrae
- supports the head and articulates with the occipital condyles;the first cervical vertebrae
