Sentence examples for nerve cross section from inspiring English sources

The total number of fibers was estimated by multiplying the mean fiber density by the total cross-sectional area of the whole nerve cross section which was measured in the light microscopic analysis.

The counting frame (2500 µm) was systematically placed into the lower right corner of each photomicrograph covering at least one-half of the nerve cross section.

Estimates of the total number of axons were calculated as: total number of axons counted divided by the product of number and area of the counting frames multiplied by the area of the nerve cross section.
