Hi!Behind the [[carotid canal]] is the '''jugular [[foramen]]''', a large [[aperture]], formed in front by the [[petrous]] portion of the [[temporal]], and behind by the [[occipital]]; it is generally larger on the right than on the left side, and may be subdivided into three compartments. <br />
<br />
* The ''anterior'' compartment transmits the [[inferior petrosal sinus]].<br />
* The ''intermediate'' transmits the [[glossopharyngeal]], [[vagus]], and [[accessory nerve]]s.<br />
* The ''posterior'' transmits the transverse sinus and some meningeal branches from the [[occipital]] and [[ascending pharyngeal]] arteries.<br />
