the atlas bone

Her er en forklaring fra Dorlands.com (der er også et billede, men det kan jeg ikke få klistret ind her):

at·las (at´ls) [ Gr. Atlas the Greek god who bears up the pillars of Heaven ]
1. the first cervical vertebra, which articulates above with the occipital bone and below with the axis. 2. a collection of illustrations on one subject, such as anatomy, blood and bone marrow, brain, cardiac disease.

Det er ikke det samme som os occipitale.
