A section through the C-8 spinal ganglion and the edge of the frontal and nasal regions.

Observe:
1. The ascending and descending aortas that are continuous with the aortic arch in Section 24.
2. The left recurrent laryngeal nerve coursing to the tracheoesophageal groove.
3. The head of the humerus deep to the deltoid muscles.
4. The phrenic nerve lateral to the precardinal vein.
