Table 2.
The total number of axon bundles traversed by the processes of an individual astrocyte from the glial lamina.
| Astrocyte | Total number of axon bundles passed by the processes |
Total number of axon bundles* |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 21 | 85 |
| 2 | 19 | 80 |
| 3 | 23 | 87 |
| 4 | 28 | 92 |
| 5 | 18 | 83 |
| 6 | 17 | 95 |
| Average | 21 | 87 |

This number represents the total number of axon bundles counted for a given transverse section of the glial lamina. We have taken the transverse section from the same region of the glial lamina in all samples. Each astrocyte was derived from independent samples.
