What joint is present with C2?

Atlanto-occipital joint
Atlantoaxial joint
Sacroiliac joint
Sternoclavicular joint

The correct answer is: Atlantoaxial joint

The correct answer is the Atlantoaxial joint. This joint is formed between the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae in the upper part of the cervical spine. This unique joint allows for rotation of the head, enabling the head to turn from side to side. The Atlanto-occipital joint is the connection between the first cervical vertebra (atlas) and the base of the skull (occipital bone). The Sacroiliac joint is formed by the connection between the sacrum and ilium bones of the pelvis, and it is located in the lower back and pelvis region. The Sternoclavicular joint is the joint between the sternum and the clavicle, located in the upper part of the chest.
