occipital condyles
occipital foramen
foramen magnum
The occipital condyles are rounded protuberances on the occipital bone of the skull. They articulate with the first cervical vertebra (atlas) to form the atlanto - occipital joint, allowing for movements such as nodding. In the image, the highlighted structures match the anatomical location and appearance of the occipital condyles. The occipital foramen (not a standard anatomical term, likely a misnomer for foramen magnum in this context) is the large opening in the occipital bone through which the spinal cord passes. Foramen Magnum is the large oval opening. But the highlighted parts are the condyles which are for articulation.
