Foramen atlantale—AtlaDtal foramen.— This is a passage through the cephalic edge of the atlas just dorsad of the occipito-atlantal arthron. It transmits the first or suboccipital nerve and the vertebral artery; Straus-Durckheim, A, I, 470. It is present in man only as an exception; Quain, A, 1,12. § 475. Lamella ventralis—Ventral or inferior lamella.—This is the thin plate-like projection ex- tending ventrad from the diapophyses of some of the cervical vertebrae. It is most marked in the 6th. Flower, A, 22, 23. § 476. Pre. (Processus) odontoideus, az.—Odon- toid process.—This is a tooth-like projection from the cephalic part of the centrum of the axis. It articu- lates diarthrodially with the atlas, and serves as a pivot on which the atlas and head rotate. It is kept from encroaching upon the neural canal by a strong hgament. § 477. Explanation of Fig. 53-55.—Anapophy- sis—Accessory tubercle.—This is a slender process extending laterad from the caudal part of the neural arch. It is ventrad of the postzygapophysis, and with it clasps the prsezygapophysis of the following verte- bra. It is present in the first six lumbar vertebras, and markedly in the 9th to the IStli thoracics, where, in man, it is called the inferior tubercle; Quain, A, 1.14. § 478. Arcus neuralis, az.—Neural arch.—This is a bony arch projecting from the dorsal aspect of the centrum. It is called neural arch because it over- arches and encloses the myelon or neural axis. § 479. Canalis neuralis, az.—Neural canal.—The neural canal is formed by the neural foramina, each foramen being a short segment of the canal. It is enclosed by the neural arches and by ligaments, and contains the myelon. § 480. Centrum, az.—Body.—The vertebral cen- trum is the solid subcylindrical ventral portion of the vertebra. Contiguous vertebral centra articulate amphiart.hrodially by means of an interposed disk of fibro-cartilage. For exceptions, sea § 458. § 481. Diapophysis—Transverse process.—The diapophysis is the lateral projection of the vertebra. Its base, in the cervical vertebras (Fig. 53), except the 7th, contains the vertebrarterial foramen (§ 473). § 482. Fm. (Foramen) neurale, az.—Vertebral ring or foramen.—This is the space
