A section through the C-2 spinal ganglion.

Observe:
1. The communication of the third ventricle with the lateral ventricle through the interventricular foramen.
2. The ophthalmic, maxillary and mandibular branches of the trigeminal nerve and their related parasympathetic ganglia.
3. The orbitosphenoid and alisphenoid of the developing skull.
4. The condensation representing the stapes ossicle in the middle ear area.
5. The relation of cranial nerves IX, X and XI to the internal jugular vein as they emerge from the skull.
