The central canal is where the spinal cord travels down the spine. Basically it's the hole in the middle of the spine that the cord travels down through. Then off the spine branch nerve roots which exit the neural foramen on each side; That is the gap where two spinal bones come together towards the posterior and lateral aspect of the vertebrae. You'll find a link below where you can check out the anatomy of the neck in more detail.
