A section through the region of the cephalic flexure, rootlets of the oculomotor nerve and origin of the glossopharyngeal nerve.

Observe:
1. The cranial and spinal parts of the accessory nerve and the superior ganglion of the vagus nerve.
2. The junction of the endolymphatic diverticulum with the medial wall of the vestibular pouch.
3. The lateral groove in the lateral wall of the vestibular pouch which is surrounded by the otic capsule condensation.
4. The three subdivisions of the mesencephalon: tectum, tegmentum and basis pedunculi area.
