| The body and vertebral arch are ossified in the same manner as the corresponding parts in the other vertebræ;, viz., one center for the body, and two for the vertebral arch. |
| The base of the process is separated from the body by a cartilaginous disk, which gradually becomes ossified at its circumference, but remains cartilaginous in its center until advanced age. |
| In this cartilage, rudiments of the lower epiphysial lamella of the atlas and the upper epiphysial lamella of the axis may sometimes be found. |
