More model informationA foramen (plural foramina) is an opening that allows the passage of structures from one region to another. In the base of the skull, the various foramina are called “cranial foramina”, and they are used to transmit cranial nerves, blood vessels and other structures to various parts of the body. In this model, you can see where the 12 cranial nerves originate and their pathway through the skull through their associated foramina.
