The function of the occipial condyle is to join the first cervical vertebra, (first bone on the neck), to enable the head to move relative to the neck.

Slightly.
The cervical enlargement contains nerves that supply the upper limbs, shoulders, and neck muscles. It is responsible for coordinating motor function in this area of the body.
The axis is the second cervical vertebra in the spine, located just below the atlas (the first cervical vertebra). It is named after its function as it allows the head to rotate on top of the spine.
Cervical spine surgery is a surgery that one might require if they are suffering from degenerative disorders, or trauma. The goal of the surgery is to relieve weakness, numbness and pain and restore nerve function.
Cervical 5 and 6 control the function of the muscles and sensations of the upper extremities, particularly the shoulders, arms, and hands. Damage or issues with these spinal levels can lead to weakness, numbness, or pain in these areas.
