What vertebrae holds the head up?

  1. C1

  2. C2

  3. C3

  4. C4

The correct answer is: C1

The atlas vertebra, also known as C1, is the vertebra that is responsible for holding the head up. C2, C3, and C4 are all located below C1 and are not directly responsible for supporting the weight of the head. Additionally, the atlas vertebra is unique because it lacks a body and has a large vertebral foramen, allowing for a greater range of motion in the head and neck. Therefore, C1 is the only correct answer for this question.
