In anatomy, the axis (from Latin axis, "axle") is the second cervical vertebra (C2) of the spine, immediately inferior to the atlas, upon which the head rests. The spinal cord passes through the axis. The defining feature of the axis is its strong bony protrusion known as the dens, which rises from the superior aspect of the bone.

Cervical vertebral maturation method. Estimating the bone age of a living child is typically performed by comparing images of their bones to images of models of the average skeleton for a given age and sex acquired from healthy children and compiled in an atlas. [4]
The cervical enlargement corresponds with the attachments of the large nerves which supply the upper limbs. Located just above the brachial plexus , it extends from about the fifth cervical to the first thoracic vertebra , its maximum circumference (about 38 mm.) being on a level with the attachment of the sixth pair of cervical nerves .
However, the cervical spine is comparatively mobile, and some component of this movement is due to flexion and extension of the vertebral column itself. This movement between the atlas and occipital bone is often referred to as the "yes joint", owing to its nature of being able to move the head in an up-and-down fashion.
