How many joints in cervical spine?

The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae (C1 to C7) and includes a total of 14 joints. These joints comprise the intervertebral joints between adjacent vertebrae, as well as the facet joints, which are found between the articular processes of each vertebra. Additionally, the atlanto-occipital joint and atlantoaxial joint, located at the top of the cervical spine, contribute to its overall joint count.
