The glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX) passes through the jugular foramen, which is formed by the temporal and occipital bones of the skull. This foramen also allows the passage of the vagus nerve and the accessory nerve. After exiting the skull, the glossopharyngeal nerve branches out to innervate structures in the throat and tongue.
