Hyoid bone

back 48

Sitting deep within the neck

Free-floating; doesn't articulate with any other bones (and therefore extremely mobile)

Serves as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments

- This complex network of muscle and ligaments suspends the hyoid bone, holding it in place and allowing it to move freely

Parts: Greater and lesser horns

front 49

C1

back 49

Atlas

- Lacks a vertebral body

- Supports the skull at the atlanto-occipital joining, enabling nodding "

front 50

C2

back 50

Axis

- The axis features the odontoid process, or dens, which projects superiorly into the atlas and allows for rotation "no" motions

- C1 rotates on C2 on the dens

- The transverse ligament binds the dens to the atlas

The C1-C2 articulation is a pivot join, unlike the gliding facet joints found throughout most of the spine

front 51

Movements available throughout cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine

back 51

Cervical: flexion, extension, lateral flexion, rotation

- Greatest mobility occurs between C3 and C7

Thoracic: The spinous processes of the thoracic vertebrae are sharply angled inferiorly, which limits extension in this region

- Less mobile than cervical or lumbar, partly due to the rigid rib cage and the orientation of their costal facets

Lumbar: articular facets allow for flexion, extension, and lateral flexion, but restrict rotation

front 52

Curves of the spine

back 52

Curvatures distribute mechanical stress during movement and standing

Maintain balance with help from muscle attachment to various vertebral processes

Provide room for organs within the thoracic and abdominal cavities
