There is also a faceton the transverse process where the tubercle of the rib artic-ulated. The first vertebra, the Atlas, has no body. The secondvertebra is the Axis. It has a peg, called the Odontoid Process,which represents the body of the atlas. In shaking the head,the atlas, with the head, turns on the axis. In nodding thehead, the head simply rocks back and forth on the atlas. Itmight, therefore, be claimed that it ought to mean more tosay no than to say yes, because in saying no oneactually puts some b
