  21. what is the tail end of the odontoblast?
    odontoblastic process
  22. what is the tissue fluid surrounding the cell membrane of the odontoblast?

    • afferent axon
    • located in the pulp
  24. the _____ of the tubule relfects the pathway the odontoblast took
    direction
  25. what is the overall tubule course called which resembles a large S
    primary curvature
  26. what resembles a large S within the dentin?
    primary curvature of the dentinal tubule
  27. what are the small delicate curves of the dentinal tubules called and what do they show?
    • secondary curvature
    • shows daily changes in the odontoblast direction during apposition
  28. what are two ways the types of dentin are described?
    location and time

    walls of dentinal tubule
  32. what type of dentin is found between each of the tubules?
    intertubular dentin
  33. where is intertubular dentin found?
    between each of the tubules
  34. what type of dentin is the first to form and is closest to the DEJ?

  35. what is mantle dentin?
    first to form and closest to the DEJ
  36. what type of dentin surrounds the pulp chamber?
    circumpulpal dentin
  37. what is circumpulpal dentin?
    dentin that surrounds the pulp chamber
  38. what are the three types of dentin by time of formation?
    • primary dentin

    • tertiary dentin
  39. what type of dentin is formed before the completion of the apical foramen?
    primary dentin
  40. what type of dentin has normal alignment of tubules and is more calcified than secondary?
    primary dentin
  41. when does primary dentin form?
    before the completion of the apical foramen
  42. what type of dentin forms after the completion of the apical foramen
    secondary dentin
  43. t/f secondary dentin is more calcified than primary dentin and t/f is formed to protect the pulp.
    • false-secondary dentin is less calcified than primary dentin
    • true
  44. when does secondary dentin form?
    after the completion of the apical foramen
  45. what type of dentin forms in response to trauma?
    tertiary dentin
  46. t/f tertiary dentin has irregular alignment of tubules because it is laid quickly and t/f it is formed to protect the pulp.
    • true
    • false-formed to protect the outer layer of dentin
  47. what is formed because of trauma or age and involves the odontoblastic process to die and leave the tubule
    sclerotic dentin
  48. what is the tubule filled with when the odontoblastic process dies and leaves the tubule
    more dentin
  49. what is sclerotic dentin?
    formed in the tubule because of trauma or age, the odontoplatic process dies and leaves the tubule and then is filled with dentin

    true
  51. how are imbrication lines of von ebner laid down?
    cyclically

    neonatal line
  55. t/f the contour lines of owen are any line that is darker than normal?
    true
  56. describe the age changes of dentin
    diameter of tubules starts to narrow as more dentin is laid and seals off the communication between the dentin and the pulp
  57. t/f with age changes in dentin the diameter of the tubules start to widen
    false-tubules start to narrow as more dentin is laid
  58. t/f dentin is more calcified than enamel and is less prone to caries
