  2. Parenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenchyma

    Lung parenchyma showing damage due to large subpleural bullae. Parenchyma (/ p ə ˈ r ɛ ŋ k ɪ m ə /) [1] [2] is the bulk of functional substance in an animal organ or structure such as a tumour. In zoology, it is the tissue that fills the interior of flatworms. In botany, it is some layers in the cross-section of the leaf. [3]

  3. Enamel organ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamel_organ

    Tooth development begins at week 6 in utero, in the oral epithelium. The process is divided into three stages: Initiation; Morphogenesis and; Histogenesis [2]; At the end of week 7 i.u., localised proliferations of cells in the dental laminae form round and oval swellings known as tooth buds, which will eventually develop into mesenchymal cells and surround the enamel organ.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_anatomy

    It is widely accepted that there is a factor within the tissues of the first branchial arch that is necessary for the development of teeth. [2] The tooth bud (sometimes called the tooth germ) is an aggregation of cells that eventually forms a tooth and is organized into three parts: the enamel organ , the dental papilla and the dental follicle .

  5. Epithelial root sheath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithelial_root_sheath

    The sheath is also responsible for multiple or accessory roots (medial growth) and lateral or accessory canals in the root (break in epithelium). [3] It is controversial, but HERS may be involved in cementogenesis and the secreting of cementum, or that HERS-derived products might be related to enamel-related molecules, and that these proteins might initiate acellular cementum formation.

  6. Tooth enamel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_enamel

    Tooth enamel is one of the four major tissues that make up the tooth in humans and many animals, including some species of fish. It makes up the normally visible part of the tooth, covering the crown. The other major tissues are dentin, cementum, and dental pulp. It is a very hard, white to off-white, highly mineralised substance that acts as a ...

  8. Human tooth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth

    Human teeth function to mechanically break down items of food by cutting and crushing them in preparation for swallowing and digesting. As such, they are considered part of the human digestive system. [1] Humans have four types of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars, which each have a specific function. The incisors cut the food ...

  9. Tissue (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_(biology)

    In plant anatomy, tissues are categorized broadly into three tissue systems: the epidermis, the ground tissue, and the vascular tissue. Epidermis – Cells forming the outer surface of the leaves and of the young plant body. Vascular tissue – The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem. These transport fluids and ...
