The correct terminology would be posterior bone
What distinguishes the Axis from the rest of the vertebrae?
The only vertebra with an odontoid process
The only vertebra without a spinous process
The only vertebra without costal facets
The only vertebra with transverse foramen
The last vertebra before connecting to the sacrum
