  2. Tip- the sum of IEL/20 enterocytes from five villi.
  3. Side- the sum of IEL/80 enterocytes from five villi divided by four.
  4. Total- the sum of five villi’s IEL/20 enterocytes in the tip + IEL/80 enterocytes in the side divided by five.
  5. T/S the number of tip enterocytes divided by the number of side enterocytes.
