dentine

Collagen-rich odontogenic tissue characteristic of teeth and tooth-like skeletal elements (e.g., odontodes); mature dentine is mineralized and develops from predentine tissue; often (but not always) tubular and acellular. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the dentine is

Collagen-rich odontogenic tissue characteristic of teeth and tooth-like skeletal elements (e.g., odontodes); mature dentine is mineralized and develops from predentine tissue; often (but not always) tubular and acellular. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the human body.

Where the dentine is

It sits within the skeletal system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What the dentine connects to

The atlas records 5 typed relationships for it, across 2 kinds of connection. part of skeletal element and calcareous tooth.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the dentine. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as dentin, dentine of tooth and predentin. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the dentine?

It sits within the skeletal system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What does the dentine connect to?

Part of: skeletal element and calcareous tooth.

Is the dentine the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
