The jugular fossa is the surface of the skull where the temporal and occipital bones meet. It features the jugular foramen, an opening in the skull formed at the juncture of the occipital and temporal bones. The jugular foramen admits the internal jugular vein and five nerves (three cranial, the glossopharyngeal, vagus, and accessory).
