The Two _______ Pass Through the Foramen Magnum and Join

Question

The two _______ pass through the foramen magnum and join on the ventral surface of the brain stem.
A) carotid arteries
B) basilar arteries
C) jugular veins
D) vertebral arteries

Accepted Answer

The vertebral arteries pass through the foramen magnum and join together on the ventral surface of the brain stem to form the basilar artery. The carotid arteries, on the other hand, are located in the front of the neck and do not pass through the foramen magnum. The jugular veins are also located in the neck and drain blood from the brain, but they do not pass through the foramen magnum.
