Figure 7.4.6 Cervical Vertebrae: A typical cervical vertebra has a small body, a bifid spinous process, transverse processes that have a transverse foramen and are curved for spinal nerve passage. The atlas (C1 vertebra) does not have a body or spinous process. It consists of an anterior and a posterior arch and elongated transverse processes.

Fractures of isolated spinous processes of cervical and thoracic vertebrae are called as Clay shoveler's fracture. 1, 2, 3 These are the avulsion type of injury due to stress on the interspinous ligaments attached to the spinous process.
I'm seeing broken pics in other illustrated stories as well. Probably a glitch in the upload process.
Hope jc1961 will ignore the snark and repost.
