cervical+vertebrae

The cervical portion of our spine is the most high up portion of our spine. The cervical curvature includes seven vertebrae these are the smallest and lightest vertebrae of the spine. The first two vertebrae of the cervical curvature are the atlas and the axis. These two vertebrae have no intervertebral discs between them and are highly modified which means they are noticably different from the other vertebrae.
