A section through the greater thymic bud (third pouch) and the isthmus of the thyroid gland.

Observe:
1. The trabecular cartilage forming in the nasal septum.
2. The infraorbital nerve in the maxillary process and the inferior alveolar nerve in the mandibular process.
3. The cervical muscle lamina in the mandibular process from which the platysma develops.
4. The origin of the right subclavian from the brachiocephalic artery.
5. The relation of the glands, vessels and nerves to the trachea and esophagus.
