Table 1. Numbers of nerve trunks entering left corneas
The number of nerves innervating corneas in Figure 3 is lower than the number in the tables because the image only reveals nerves at one focal depth; the tables include nerve bundles seen at all focal depths. There was no significant difference (a=0.05) in respective pairwise comparisons between quadrants of the same side, between total nerve numbers, or between corresponding left and right quadrants. Abbreviations: CW, Clockwise; V, Ventral; T, Temporal; D, Dorsal; N, Nasal.
