basis pedunculi of pons region (metencephalon), future tegmentum, left internal carotid artery with blood cells, mesencephalon, optic area, primordial area of optic chiasm, prosencephalon (forebrain), right internal carotid artery with blood cells, trigeminal neural crest (CN V)

A section through the ventral part of the prosencephalon at its junction with the mesencephalon.

Observe:
1. The primordial area of the optic chiasma in the ventral part of the prosencephalon.
2. The middle of the trigeminal crest.
3. The large carotid arteries on each side of the brain filled with primitive, nucleated blood cells.
