The vertebrae that make up the neck are called cervical vertebrae. They are located in the neck region of the spine and are usually denoted as C1 to C7. These cervical vertebrae are designed to support the head and allow for a greater range of motion compared to other regions of the spine. This anatomical knowledge is crucial for veterinary technicians to understand when handling and performing procedures on animals to ensure the safety and well-being of the patients.
