odontoid process
The odontoid process, also known as the dens, is a small upward-pointing projection of the axis (second cervical vertebra) around which the atlas (first cervical vertebra) rotates. This process enables the head to turn from side to side, allowing for rotational movement. Its anatomical structure is critical in maintaining the stability of the cervical spine.
