Thepresence of cer\ical ribs canbest be shown by the antero-posterior position. The cervical region hasbeen partially shown inFig. 182, but it is necessaryto illustrate this particularregion fully, for it is herethat the difficulty of show-ing a fracture or dislocationmay be very great, and insome instances impossible. An antero - posteriorview of the neck region is not a very satisfactory one, because of the superimposing venebr* - ---. |0,o 50 oorsal vertebra of the occipital region and Fk;. 184.—Diagram to illustrate the anatomical points in the lower jaw.

The resultingjncture is necessarily small,but large enough to includethe parts desired. The position usually takenis the lateral one, ^\^th thehead rotated towards theplate. It is then possible toget a fairly good outhne ofthe seven cervical vertebraeand the adjacent portions ofthe base of the skull. Thebodies of the cervical vertebraeare readily shown, but to getaccurate outlines the head must not be moved to either side.
