< b>C1 (cervical vertebra): C1 is the first cervical (neck) vertebra which
is called the atlas. It supports the head.
The atlas bone is named for the Greek god Atlas who was condemned to support
the earth and its heavens on his shoulders. (Because the god Atlas often adorned
maps, a compilation of maps came to be known as an atlas).
