Cranial nerves 9 (glossopharyngeal nerve), 10 (vagus nerve), and 11 (accessory nerve) exit the skull through the Jugular Foramen. The Stylomastoid Foramen is for the facial nerve (cranial nerve 7). The Superior Orbital Fissure is for cranial nerves 3 (oculomotor), 4 (trochlear), 6 (abducens) and ophthalmic division of cranial nerve 5 (trigeminal). The Hypoglossal Canal is for cranial nerve 12 (hypoglossal nerve).
