3D Model of Vertebra C1 (Atlas)
Explore a detailed 3D model of the Atlas (Vertebra C1), the topmost cervical vertebra in the spine. This essential bone supports the skull and plays a critical role in head movement, allowing for nodding and rotation. Its unique ring-like structure differs from other vertebrae, as it lacks a body and features a large vertebral foramen. The Atlas also connects with the Axis (C2) to form the atlantoaxial joint, enabling a wide range of head movements. Perfect for anatomical studies, this model highlights key features such as the anterior and posterior arches, transverse processes, and articular surfaces.
