enamel is derived from what
ectodermal component
enamel is formed by what
ameloblast (lost as tooth erupts)
is enamel vascular and cellular
it is avascular and acellular, cannot be regenerated
enamel structure organization
rods (prism) and interrod enamel (interprismatic substance)
enamel is build from closely packed and long, ribbon like and separated by neighbor by what spaces
carbanatoapatite crystals
tiny intercrystalline spaces
crystal dimensions (width and thickness) and what symmetry
60-70nm in width, 25-30 nm in thickness
hexagonal symmetry
hydroxyapatite formula
