Solution
Bone markings are features on the surface of a bone that indicate attachments and articulations. The atlas bone is the first cervical vertebra and is located directly beneatn the skull. The superior aspect of this bone supports the occipital bone of the skull, and articulates with the condyles (bone markings) located at the base of the occipital bone. This articulation enables the movement of the head relative to the neck (up and down, sideways).
