A section through the esophageal-gastric junction, base of lungs and T-7–T-8 interganglion region.

Observe:
1. The superior mesenteric artery passing between the jejunum and colon to the herniated midgut.
2. The umbilical arteries entering the umbilical cord.
3. The parts of the stomach; fundus, body and pyloric portion.
4. The intrahepatic part of the inferior vena cava.
5. The cranial edge of the suprarenal glands (cortex).
