Anatomy of cervical spine
The cervical spine is made up of 7 vertebrae. C3-C6 are typical vertebrae with bifid spinous processes and facets while C1-C2 and C7 have distinguishing features. The joints in the cervical spine include intervertebral joints between vertebral bodies, joints of Lushka between vertebral arches, and craniovertebral joints. Important ligaments like the atlantoaxial and zygohypophyseal joints allow flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation of the cervical spine.
