Question

Which cervical vertebra is identified by odontoid process?

• A. Atlas
• B. Axis
• C. 6\textsuperscript{th} cervical vertebra
• D. 7\textsuperscript{th} cervical vertebra

Hint:

Remember: Axis (C2) = Dens or odontoid process = Rotation of the head.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The odontoid process, also known as the dens, is a peg-like projection found on the Axis (C2 vertebra). It forms a pivot joint with the Atlas (C1), allowing the head to rotate.
