The tips of the spinous processes of the cervical
vertebrae 11—VI are frequently divided.

Seventh cervical vertebra, Vertebra cervicalis VII;
superior view.
In general the seventh cervical vertebra can be easily
identified by its protruding spinous process and is
referred to as vertebra prominens. In fact, the spinous
process of the first thoracic vertebra often protrudes
even further.
