This article is a stub.

There are two contrasting areas, the upper occipito-atlanto-axial joint complex, and the sub-axial spine discs and zygapophyseal joints.

  • Upper occipito-atlanto-axial joint complex
    • Multiple synovial joints with strong transverse and alar ligaments provide about half of total movements
    • They are well preserved in older subjects
