The odontoid process is located on the second cervical vertebra and acts as a knob-like projection that enables rotational movements of the head. It serves as a pivotal point for the rotation between the first cervical vertebra (atlas) and the head. Essentially, the odontoid process allows for the turning and twisting motions of the head.
