A section through the C-1 spinal ganglion at the junction of the myelencephalon and spinal cord.

Observe:
1. The junction of the cerebral vesicle with the diencephalon.
2. The tuberal portion of the adenohypophysis on each side of the neurohypophyseal bud.
3. The trigeminal ganglion with the motor root of V medially.
4. The junction of the vertebral arteries to form the basilar artery.
5. The junction of the lateral semicircular canal with the utricle and the relation of the vestibular ganglion to the cochlear and facial nerves.
