OMG! :cry:

Dens Bone

The dens or odontoid process or odontoid peg of the axis exhibits a slight constriction or neck, where it joins the body.

On its anterior surface is an oval or nearly circular facet for articulation with that on the anterior arch of the atlas.

On the back of the neck, and frequently extending on to its lateral surfaces, is a shallow groove for the transverse atlantal ligament which retains the process in position.

The apex is pointed, and gives attachment to the apical odontoid ligament; below the apex the process is somewhat enlarged, and presents on either side a rough impression for the attachment of the alar ligament; these ligaments connect the process to the occipital bone.

The internal structure of the odontoid process is more compact than that of the body.
