A section through the edge of the cerebral hemispheres (frontal lobe area) and medulla oblongata.

Observe:
1. The olfactory bulb on the underside of the frontal lobe.
2. The lacrimal gland primordium, ciliary ganglion, optic nerve and the lateral rectus muscle.
3. The middle ear ossicles medial to the auricle.
4. The cartilaginous components of the skull base.
5. The primordial nuclei and tract areas in the medulla oblongata.
