Upper image: Cross section of a medium-sized nerve surrounded by connective tissue and enclosed by a perineurium. Most of its nerve fibers are myelinated and appear in cross section.
Lower image: Higher-magnification view of the nerve.
Most nerve fibers were sectioned transvesely. Notice that some nerve fibers (highlighted in blue) that are cut obliquely. These fibers are possibly entering the nerve or leaving it to reach some structure.
