Which lower cervical vertebral body is the smallest?

C4 C5 C3 C6

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

In the cervical spine, vertebral body size tends to increase as you move downward to handle greater loads. The third cervical vertebral body is the smallest among the cervical levels, and the sizes of the lower cervical bodies rise progressively (toward C7). So the third cervical body is smaller than the others in that region, which is why it’s identified as the smallest.
