∙ 10y agoThe function of the intervertebral foramen is to allow a passage for spinal nerves to travel to/from the spinal cord. The vertebral canal contains the spinal cord; while the interveterbral foramen is a means of entrance and exit of nerves from the vertebral canal. Hope this helps.

Inter means "between", vertebral obviously means vertebrae as mentioned above, and foramina is plural for foramen, which is a hole.
Intervertebral foramina are formed in the space between two vertebrae. When two or more vertebral bones are stacked, the intervertebral foramina would be inferior to the pedicles of the superior vertebrae and superior to the pedicles of the inferior vertebrae. It will create a hole that goes between the two vertebrae horizontally. The spinal cord goes through the vertebral foramen vertically, and the nerve roots slip out horizontally through the intervertebral foramina.

What structures pass through the various foramen?
Spinal cord passes through the vertebral foramen of vertebrae C1-C7, T1-T12 and L1 (sometimes L2). Cauda equina (nerve roots of lower spinal cord) pass through the vertebral foramen of vertebrae L3-L5 and the sacral canal. Spinal nerve roots pass through all of the intervertebral foramen and the sacral foramen.
What structure passes through each intervertebral foramen?
Spinal nerves. 7 pairs of cervical, 12 pairs of thoracic, 5 pairs of lumbar, 5 pairs of sacral, and 4 pairs of coccigeal spinal nerves.
What is the largest foramen in the body?
The obturator foramen is the largest foramen in the human body.
Openings provide exit of spinal nerves?
The spinal nerves exit from the vertebral column through openings between adjacent vertebrae. These openings, called intervertebral foramina, are located just in front of the facet joints. They exit from what are called intervertebral foramina (foramen means opening).
Largest foramen in the human skeleton?
The obturator foramen is the largest foramen in the human skeleton, located in the pelvic girdle.
What can cause a reduction in the size of the intervertebral foramen?
the size of the intervertebral foramen becomes narrower during normal flexion movement.
What are the openings providing for exit of spinal nerves?
Vertebral foramen are the spaces between adjacent vertebrae where the spinal nerves exit the spinal canal.
