A section through the urogenital sinus, rectum and urorectal septum.

Observe:
1. The myotome lateral to the neural arch.
2. The sympathetic trunk dorsolateral to the dorsal aorta.
3. The thick gonadal ridge in the ventromedial portion of the mesonephric ridge.
4. The hindgut suspended by a dorsal mesentery.
5. The urorectal septum dividing the cloaca into the urogenital sinus and rectum.
