(30 of 33) Enamel Rod Formation This image shows ameloblasts (A) depositing enamel. Each enamel rod is formed by the secretory products from four adjacent ameloblasts. Conversely, the secretory products from each ameloblast contributes to the formation of four rods. Each Tomes' process (B) is surrounded by the ends of four developing rods. Note the curved nature of the initial parts of each enamel rod (C). Identify D and E. |
