The intervertebral foramina provide passageways for spinal nerves to exit the vertebral column and travel to other parts of the body. The vertebral foramina are the openings in each vertebra that collectively form the vertebral canal, which houses and protects the spinal cord. The vertebral canals run through the center of each vertebra. The articular facets are the surfaces on the vertebrae where adjacent vertebrae articulate with one another. The transverse foramina are found only in the cervical vertebrae and provide a passageway for the vertebral artery and vein.
