A section through the cerebral hemispheres, optic nerve, optic chiasma and medulla oblongata.

Observe:
1. The adenohypophysis caudal to the optic chiasma and medial to the internal carotid artery and trigeminal ganglion.
2. The relative position, parts and relation of the cochlear and vestibular portions of the internal ear.
3. The trigeminal, geniculate and vestibular ganglia.
4. The primordial nuclei and tract areas in the medulla oblongata where the fourth ventricle is continuous with the central canal.
5. The roof of the orbit and its relation to the orbitosphenoid bone.
