Fig. 15.Photograph of a horizontal section of the head of a 110 mm embryo

Shows two points of great interest, viz. ossification in the corpus sphenoidale - the post-sphenoidal centre (P.S.C.), which has a somewhat curious form,and giving rise to a litle doubt as to whether it is a single centre or the result of fusion of two originally independent ones; 1 and ossification in the processus alaris (P.A.). This is obviously independent of that in the corpus sphenoidale,and its large size is somewhat surprising, if it form only that part commonly in our text-books called lingula. From its posterior end a pointed cartilaginous process is seen to pass backwards towards the auditory capsule (A.C.), and between the processus alaris and the auditory capsule the internal carotid artery (C.A.) is seen in transverse section.
