A section through the middle of the eye and caudal part of the medulla oblongata.

Observe:
1. The layers of the eye.
2. The muscles of mastication between the eye and the auditory tube (pouch 1).
3. The choana through which the nasal cavity communicates with the nasopharynx.
4. The relation of the first and second arch cartilages to the middle ear.
5. The hypoglossal nerve in the subarachnoid space.
