Ameloblast

Ameloblasts are cells present only during tooth development that deposit tooth enamel, which is the hard outermost layer of the tooth forming the surface of the crown.

See Tomes's process and Ameloblast

Gap junction

Gap junctions are membrane channels between cells that allow the exchange of substances from the cytoplasm of one cell directly to the cytoplasm of an adjacent cell.

See Tomes's process and Gap junction

Histology

Histology, also known as microscopic anatomy or microanatomy, is the branch of biology that studies the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues.

See Tomes's process and Histology

John Tomes

Sir John Tomes (21 March 1815 – 29 July 1895) was an English dental surgeon.

See Tomes's process and John Tomes

Microscope

A microscope is a laboratory instrument used to examine objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye.

See Tomes's process and Microscope

Odontoblast process

An odontoblast process (also called Tomes's fibers or Tomes fibers, or by a dated term Tomes's fibrils) is an extension of a cell called an odontoblast, which forms dentin in a tooth. Tomes's process and odontoblast process are Dentistry stubs and tooth development.

See Tomes's process and Odontoblast process

Terminal bar (histology)

Terminal bar is a histological term given to the unresolved group of junctional complexes that attach adjacent epithelial cells on their lateral surfaces: the zonula occludens, zonula adherens, macula adherens and macula communicans.

See Tomes's process and Terminal bar (histology)

Tonofibril

Loops of tonofibrils at a desmosome. --> Tonofibrils are cytoplasmic protein structures in epithelial tissues that converge at desmosomes and hemidesmosomes.

See Tomes's process and Tonofibril

Tooth

A tooth (teeth) is a hard, calcified structure found in the jaws (or mouths) of many vertebrates and used to break down food.

See Tomes's process and Tooth

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.
