===Muscular attachments===

====Transverse processes====
Upper surface:

* [[rectus capitis anterior]]{{snd}} occipital bone (inferior surface of the base)
* [[rectus capitis lateralis]]{{snd}} occipital bone (beneath the jugular process)
* [[obliquus capitis superior]]{{snd}} occipital bone (between the superior and inferior nuchal lines)

Interior and dorsal part:

* [[obliquus capitis inferior]]{{snd}} spinous process of the axis

Lower surface:

* [[splenius cervicis]] (part){{snd}} spinous processes of T02–T05
* [[levator scapulae]] (part){{snd}} superior part of medial border of the scapula
* [[Intertransversarii muscle|intertransversarius posterior cervicis]]{{snd}} transverse process of the axis (posterior tubercle)
* [[Intertransversarii muscle|intertransversarius anterior cervicis]]{{snd}} transverse process of the axis (anterior tubercle)

====Posterior tubercle====
Upper surface:

* [[rectus capitis posterior minor]]{{snd}} occipital bone (medial part of the interior nuchal line, and the surface between it and the foramen magnum)

Lower surface:

* [[Interspinales muscles|interspinalis cervicis]]{{snd}} spinous process of the axis

====Anterior arch====
* [[longus colli]] (superior oblique){{snd}} transverse processes of C03–C05.
