Evaluation, education or treatment locations: The fine white line surrounds the neural foramen or doorway through which the spinal nerves leave the spinal canal to spread out into the body.
1 The spinal part of the spinal accessory nerves (N98) emerge from the cervical level of the spinal cord and enter the cranial cavity through the foramen magnum (N8). 2  They may be left intact. 3  Finally, the hypoglossal nerves (N98) and the vertebral arteries (894/N132) are located near the foramen magnum and cut. Associate each with its proper fossa and the foramen it uses to exit the cranial cavity. 2  Carefully remove the true dura from the lateral surface of the trigeminal nerve (fifth cranial nerve) and display the trigeminal (semilunar) ganglion (N98) located in a cave of dura.
