The distribution of No. 10 and 11 lymph nodes (LNs) in each cadaver is shown. The number of LNs on the anterior and posterior sides and the number of microslides studied are also shown. No. 10, No. 10 LNs; No. 11, No. 11 LNs; No. of slices: Number of microslides; Avg. (LN/case): Mean number of LNs per case; Avg. (LN/slice): Mean number of LNs per microslide. LN: Lymph node; NA: Not available.
