It’s the bone of lower jaw. It’s the most inferior structure in the skull anterior view. It consists of: the body of mandible anteriorly. the ramus of mandible posteriorly. These meet posteriorly at the angle of mandible.

The mental protuberance is a projection at middline where the two sides of the mandible meet.On each side mental foramen is visible, passing through it mental nerve & vessels.There is also oblique ridge for muscle attachment

On lateral view the superior part of the ramus extends upwards to form a condylar and coronoid process . The condylar process is involved in articulation of the mandible with the temporal bone. The coronoid process is the point of attachment for the temporalis muscle

The seven cervical vertebrae form the bony framework of the neck..

Typical Cervical vertebrae are characterized by: Small bodies. Bifid small spinous processes. Transverse processes that contain a foramen (foramen transversarium). Large triangular vertebral foramen. Superior articular processes facing backward & upward. Inferior articular processes facing forward & downward.
Cervical vrtebrae

Together the foramina transversarium form a
longitudinal passage on each side of
the cervical spine for vertebral blood
vessels (artery and veins) passing
between the base of the neck and
the cranial cavity.

Atypical Cervical vertebrae : The upper two cervical vertebrae (CI and CII) are modified for moving the head. The first cervical vrtebra (atlas): It has neither body or spinous process . It has anterior arch, posterior arch & a lateral mass on each side. Each lateral mass has articular surfaces on its upper & lower aspects.

The atlas artigulates superiorly with skull occipital condyles & inferiorly with the axis. The second cervical vrtebra (axis): It has odontoid process (dens) which projects upward from the superior surface of body. The seventh cervical vrtebra has long & not bifid spine
