A section through the T-6 neural crest, S-1 somite and the cloaca.

Observe:
1. The mycocoele of the S-1 somite surrounded by epitheloid cells.
2. The urogenital sinus and rectal portions of the cloaca.
3. The distal part of the lower limb buds with its ectodermal placode and mesodermal core.
4. The caudal extent of the left umbilical plexus in the lateral body wall.
5. The midsection of a mesonephric vesicle.
