A section through the junction of the hypophyseal pouch with the neurohypophyseal bud.

Observe:
1. The three divisions of a somite: sclerotome, myotome and dermatome.
2. The basilar artery that travels in the midline on the ventral surface of the pons area in Section 8.
3. The abducens nerve passing to the lateral rectus premuscle mass.
4. The facial nerve in the middle of the second branchial arch.
5. The three divisions of the trigeminal nerve; ophthalamic, maxillary and mandibular nerves.
