Bones:
The cervical vertebrae have a transverse foramen through which the vertebral arteries and veins pass.
The transverse foramen of C8 contains only the vein, not the artery.
Atlas is the strongest cervical vertebrae.
Axis has no body, just an anterior and posterior arch.
Ribs 11 and 12 attach only to the vertebrae, not the sternum. Furthermore, they articulate at a single costal facet on the vertebral body.
Rib 1 and 10 articulate with a superior and transverse costal facet respectively on the body and transverse process of their vertebrae.
Ribs 8-10 are so-called “false ribs” because they articulate anteriorly with the costal cartilage of the ribs above them rather then with the sternum or manubrium.
All other ribs articulate with three costal facets, one on the body, one on the transverse process, and one on the vertebra one level above.
The navicular bone sits behind the small “navy” of cuneiform bones.
