3D Model of Vertebra C2 (Axis)

Dive into the 3D model of the Axis (Vertebra C2), the second cervical vertebra, which is critical for head rotation. Distinguished by its odontoid process (dens), this vertebra forms a pivot for the Atlas, enabling rotational movement of the head. The Axis is integral to the atlantoaxial joint and ensures stability while allowing flexibility. This detailed model emphasizes its unique anatomy, including the transverse processes, lamina, pedicle, and spinous process, making it ideal for medical professionals, students, and educators seeking an in-depth understanding of spinal mechanics.
