A section through the C-2 spinal ganglion and dorsal surface of the tongue.

Observe:
1. The inferior ganglion of the vagus medial to the spinal accessory nerve.
2. The maxillary and mandibular nerves in the first branchial arch.
3. The facial and glossopharyngeal nerves on each side of the second pharyngeal pouch.
4. The chorda tympani nerve arising from the facial nerve.
5. The internal carotid artery flanking each side of the hypophyseal pouch.
