A section through the atrioventricular (AV) region of the heart.

Observe:
1. The neural arch in the C-5–C-6 interganglion region.
2. The junctions of the pre- and postcardinal veins and of the right common cardinal vein with the right sinus horn.
3. The right and left venous valves between the right sinus horn and right atrium.
4. The fusion of the endocardial cushions with the ostium primum above and the interventricular foramen below.
5. The union of the medial and lateral nasal elevations.
