Odontoblast

A odontoblast (plural: odontoblasts ) is a cell of mesenchymal origin. When tooth emergence epithelial cells of the vagina Hertwig'schen induce adjacent mesenchymal cells to transform themselves into odontoblasts. Odontoblasts sit on the border between dentin and pulp. The cylindrical palisade- shaped cells arranged form lifelong dentin, thereby reducing the size of the Pulpencavums with age is getting smaller. Your cell processes, the Tomes'schen fibers extend into the dentin tubules formed in the ( tubules ). Odontoblasts associated with free nerve endings in contact and play a role in the genesis of pain stimulus.
