A section through the gall bladder, pylorus and T-7 spinal ganglion.

Observe:
1. The jejunum passing into the umbilical cord and the colon passing back into the abdominal cavity.
2. The pylorus and gastroduodenal junction where the pyloric sphincter develops.
3. The hepatic ducts that drain bile from the liver and the cystic duct that drains the gall bladder.
4. An afferent vein arising from the portal vein as it enters the liver carrying blood from the gut.
5. The azygos vein on the ventral surface of the vertebral column.
