text: Because the spinous processes are so short, certain superficial muscles (the trapezius and splenius capitis) attach to the nuchal ligament rather than directly to the vertebrae; the nuchal ligament itself attaching to the spinous processes of C2–C7 and to the posterior tubercle of the atlas.
text: The spinous process is short, and nearly horizontal in direction.
text: The transverse processes are very short, tuberculated at their extremities, and do not have articular facets.
text: The spinous process is short and bifid (to allow ligamentum nuchae to run through).
