A section through the C-4 neural crest, upper limb bud, primitive stomach and the horns of the sinus venosus.

Observe:
1. The continuity of the conus cordis in Section 20 with the primitive right ventricle of the heart.
2. The communication (atrioventricular canal) between the atria and primitive left ventricle in Section 22.
3. The junction of the right umbilical and hepatocardiac veins with the right sinus horn and the junction of the left common cardinal and umbilical veins with the left sinus horn.
4. The slightly enlarged portion of the foregut that forms the primitive stomach.
5. The trabeculae of the primitive left ventricle.
