At W6
Which tissues does the tooth develop from? (2)

What are the 3 stages of tooth development?
- Bud stage
- Cap stage
- Bell stage
What is the tooth germ?

cuboidal
What type of epithelium is the inner enamel epithelium?
low columnar
What will the dental papilla give rise to?
Dentin + pulp
What happens to inner enamel epithelium in the bell stage?
The cells differentiate to ameloblasts / adamontoblasts (tall columnar)
What happens to the dental papilla in the bell stage?
Some cells differenciate to odontoblasts due to the influence of the inner enamel epithelium
What is the cervical loop in the bell stage and what does it form?
The meeting of inner and outer enamel epithelium, will form root sheath. Also called Hertwing’s epithelial root sheath
What type of gland is the sublingual gland?
Seromucous gland with predominating mucous acini
What do mucous acini synthesize?
glycoprotein : very developped golgi apparatus
What is the excretory duct of the sublingual gland?
Duct of Rivinus, which goes to duct of Wharton
What type of gland is the parotid gland?
exclusively serous
Why are serous acini strongly basophilic?
Due to the presence of RER (for proteins)
What type of gland is the submandibular gland?
Mixed serous and mucous (50/50)
What is the course of secretion in the ducts?
Secreting cell -> intercalated duct -> striated intralobular duct -> interlobar duct -> excretory duct
Where does the sublingual duct drain?
It joins the submandibular duct and drains in the sublingual caruncle
In which layer of the ovary are follicles located?
