Within the vertebral column (spine) of vertebrates, including the human spine, each bone has an opening at both its top and bottom to allow nerves, arteries, veins, etc. to pass through.
Otheredit
Apical foramen, the opening at the tip of the root of a tooth
Foramen ovale (heart), an opening between the venous and arterial sides of the fetal heart
Foramen transversarium, one of a pair of openings in each cervical vertebra, in which the vertebral artery travels
Obturator foramen, the opening created by the ischium and pubis bones of the pelvis
Vertebral foramen, the foramen formed by the anterior segment (the body), and the posterior part, the vertebral arch
