What is the only way out of the skull?

jugular foramen
foramen spinosum
carotid foramen
foramen magnum

The correct answer is: foramen magnum

The only way out of the skull is the foramen magnum. This is the large opening at the base of the skull through which the spinal cord passes and connects to the brain. The other options mentioned are specific openings in the skull for different structures such as blood vessels or nerves, but the foramen magnum is the correct choice as it is the singular exit point for the spinal cord from the skull.
