The bones that give passage to the olfactory nerve fibers are the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone. The olfactory nerve fibers pass through small openings called cribriform foramina in the cribriform plate, allowing them to enter the nasal cavity and transmit sensory information related to smell.
Foramina are openings. Neural foramina patent bilaterally just means that the openings in the spine are open, and allow the nerves to pass through normally...
No veins pass through the the transverse foraminae. The vertebral arteries, however, pass through these spaces on their way to the brain.

The spinal cord passes through the cervical vertebrae, and the spinal nerves pass through the transverse foramina on both left and right sides.
When neural foramina appear patent, it means that they are open and not blocked or narrowed. This allows for proper passage of nerves and blood vessels through the spaces in the spine, preventing compression and preserving function. It is important for maintaining nerve health and preventing symptoms such as pain and weakness.
Foramen is Latin for 'hole'. Paten means "open"... The term means the holes in the spine where nerves go through are wide open... (that's a good thing!!)
a neuroforamen is the tiny hole in the bone in a vertebra that allow the nerve endings from the spinal column to pass through in order to transmit signals to the brain from eternal or internal stimulus.
The radial nerve and the profunda brachii artery pass through the lateral triangular space.
Almost all nerves have to pass through some sort of opening. In this case, they are called foramina.
