1
New cards

embryology?

study of the prenatal growth

2

study of tissue structure and function at the microscopic level

3

4
New cards

3 prenatal periods?

5
New cards

preimplantation period when and what?

6
New cards

embryonic period when?

Week 2 to the end of Week 8

7
New cards

why is the embryonic period the most critical?

all major structures start to develope and cells become tissues,organs and systems

prism sheath vs interprismatic substance?

41
New cards

ameloblasts?

cells that form enamel

42
New cards

dentin?

43
New cards

44
New cards

secondary dentin?

is made after eruption and is slower

45
New cards

tertiary(reparitive) dentin?

forms fast in responce to irritants( attrition, caries,erosion,cavity preps)

46
New cards

primary ( acellular) cementum?

no cells, forms outward from the CEJ

47
New cards

secondary(cellular) cementum?

forms on the apical half after the tooth reached functional occlusion

48
New cards

4 pulp functions?

formative (makes dentin), nutritive,sensory (temp/pressure/trauma=pain), protective (reparative/

49
New cards

pulp chamber?

inner space of the dentin, big during eruption and shrinks with age

50
New cards

coronal pulp?

pulp within the crown

51
New cards

pulp extention toward cusp tips and incisal edges

52
New cards
