Answer:

Odontoid Process

Step-by-step explanation:

The Axis has a protuberance (process or projection) called the odontoid process. Where it joins the main body of the vertebra, it has a slight constriction or neck. It has an oval or nearly circular facet on its anterior surface for articulation with the anterior arch of the atlas.
