Statement I is true but statement II is false.

Most mammals have seven cervical vertebrae. 

The first cervical vertebra atlas articulates with occipital condyles of the skull. The odontoid process is a projection from the axis (C2) vertebra that extends upward and articulates with the atlas, forming a pivot joint that allows the head to rotate.
