Figs. 148 THE NERVOUS SYSTEM 245 and 150 show median and lateral sagittal sections of the samestage. The flexures of the brain at this stage are: (1) the cranialflexure marked by the plica encephali ventralis on the ventralsurface, (2) the cervical flexure at the junction of myelencephalonand cord, somewhat reduced in this stage, and (3) the pontineflexure, a ventral projection of the floor of the myelencephalon. c/^.Pi ^- /J.
