Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Neural Foramen The neural foramen is the opening between every two vertebrae where the nerve roots exit the spine. The nerve roots travel through the foramen to reach the rest of your body. There are two neural foramina between each pair of vertebrae - one on each side. Without the foramen, nerve signals could not travel to and from the brain to the rest of your body. Without nerve signals, your body would not be able to function. from: A Patient's Guide to Anatomy and Function of the Spine http://www.spineuniversity.com/public/spinesub.asp?id=71 a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
