A foramen is a hole through a bone that allows for passage of nerves and blood vessels, whereas a canal is a tubular passage or tunnel in a bone, and alveolus is a socket in which a tooth is located. Fissures and sinuses are both types of cavities in bones but are not specifically related to nerve and vessel passage.
