A section through the C-8 spinal ganglion and first rib primordium.

Observe:
1. The primitive hand plate of the upper limb bud with the peripheral marginal vein.
2. The communication of the primitive pleural and peritoneal cavities through the pleuroperitoneal opening ventral to the mesonephric duct.
3. The cranial end of the mesonephric duct.
4. The junctions of an efferent vein and the ductus venosus with the right hepatocardiac vein.
5. The components of the umbilical cord.
