The jugular tubercle (of occipital bone^[1]) is a rounded prominence^[2]^: 568/oval elevation^[1] upon the superior (i.e. internal^[1]) surface of the occipital condyle^[2]^: 817 at the junction of the basilar part and lateral part of the occipital bone, just medial to the jugular foramen^[2]^: 568^[1] on either side of the foramen magnum.^[1]

It overlies (i.e. is situated superior to^[2]^: 568) the hypoglossal canal^[2]^: 817 and is situated anterosuperior to the internal opening of this canal.^[1] The glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX), vagus (CN X), and accessory (CN XI) pass across the posterior portion of the jugular tubercle to reach the jugular foramen.^[2]^: 568
