A

hepatic portal vein

114
Q

____ is beneath the dorsal aorta and between the two mesonephros

A

inferior vena cava

115
Q

The passageway through the liver for blood reaching the liver via the left umbilical vein is the ___

A

ductus venosus

116
Q

Continue to follow the inferior vena cava cranially into the ___, and trace the latter into the right atrium.

A

sinus venosus

117
Q

These ___ will form the inner ear.

A

otic vesicles

118
Q

A small vesicle appears on the medial side of the otic vesicles; this is the ___

A

endolymphatic duct

119
Q

Another section of brain may now be encountered near the pointed apex of the metencephalon section, but not connected to it. This is the
___ the midbrain

A

mesencephalon,

120
Q

A ventral evagination of the floor of the diencephalon is called the ___

A

infundibulum,

121
Q

The infundibulum and the ___, a

dorsal evagination of the stomodeum, will combine to form the hypophysis (pituitary).

A

Rathke’s pouch

122
Q

Note the ___ on the lateral edges of the diencephalon.

A

optic cups

123
Q

the telencephalon becomes constricted into two

(future) ____

A

cerebral hemispheres

124
Q

Note the ____ which are

cavities on the lateral surfaces of the head, adjacent to the cerebral hemispheres.

A

olfactory pits

125
Q

Observe that the ___ of the retina, in
which the axons constituting the optic nerve fibers will be aggregated, is continuous with the optic stalk, providing a pathway for future optic nerve fibers to grow back towards the diencephalon

A

sensory layer

126
Q

Emerging from the wall of the metencephalon where the neural canal is broadest is the root of the ___

A

trigeminal (V) cranial nerve.

127
Q

Adjacent to the narrowed ear rudiment, on the
side closest to the trigeminal ganglion, a group of nerve fibers emerges from the wall of the myelencephalon; these are the roots of the ___ nerve

A

vestibulocochlear (formerly auditory) (VIII) cranial nerve,

128
Q

These fibers constitute the root of the vagus (X) cranial nerve, (Davis, fig. 68 and 73). A few
sections more caudally they connect to a ___ of the vagus. If you follow the vagus nerve caudally, a second ___appears in its place.

A

(jugular) ganglion

(nodose) ganglion

129
Q

These are the roots of the glosso-pharyngeal (IX) cranial nerve. A few sections more caudally these fibers connect to a ___ of the glossopharyngeal nerve. If you continue following the glossopharyngeal nerve caudally, in its place a second ___ then appears. These 2 ganglia will appear on the opposite side of the otic vesicle in comparison to the trigeminal nerve.

A

(superior) ganglion

(petrosal) ganglion

130
Q

Emerging from the marginal zone of the myelencephalon where the neural canal is narrowest is a number of bundles of nerve fibers, the roots of the ___

A

hypoglossal (XII) cranial nerve.
