Anteriorly it presents a large aperture, The foramen magnum (foramen occipiMe magnum), trans-mitting the medulla oblongata and its coverings, the vertebralarteries, and the spinal accessory nerves. On either side of the foramen magnum are the condvlic orlateral portions (paries laterales) hearing the condyles (con- Sufierier Ati^lt.
