What does the occipital condyle articulate with?
The occipital condyle articulates with the first cervical vertebra (atlas) to form the atlanto-occipital joint. This joint allows for nodding movements of the head.
What bones articulate with thoracic facets and demifacets?
The thoracic facets and demifacets articulate with the ribs, which form joints known as costovertebral joints. The facets on the thoracic vertebrae articulate with the heads of the ribs, while the demifacets articulate with the necks of the ribs.

The Hyoid bone does not have any articulations. It is commonly described as a gyroscope. It is held in place by the suprahyoid and infrahyoid musculature. It has a deep relationship with the Atlas however does not articulate directly with it.
What Vertebrae are not attached to ribs called?

What does the occipital condyle articulate with?
The occipital condyle articulates with the first cervical vertebra (atlas) to form the atlanto-occipital joint. This joint allows for nodding movements of the head.
The occipital condyles lay on which bone?
The occipital condyles "lay on", or articulate with, the lateral masses of the first cervical vertebra, also known as atlas.
What bone's articulate with the atlas?
The atlas articulates with the axis. The atlas is the first cervical vertebra and articulates with the skull superiorly, and the axis (the second cervical vertebra) inferiorly. The joint between the atlas and axis, dubbed the atlanto-axial joint, is responsible for the increased range of motion of the skull (turning your head left/right, and nodding up/down).The order of the atlas and axis can be remembered because, beginning from the skull, these two cervical vertebrae are in alphabetical order (aTlas then aXis).
