The first five cervical vertebrae are completely fused, except, of course, for the nerve- 

 foramina. The neural arches of the Gth and 7th vertebrae are free from the others, 

 except mid-dorsally and for a short distance on each side of the middle line. The 

 6th and 7th vertebrae are also partly free from each other in their centra. On the 

 right side of the body there is a similar slit dividing the oth from the Gth vertebra. 



I have to thank Mr. Harmer for this information.
