Tooth enamel overall process of tooth development. Under a microscope, different cellular aggregations are identifiable within the tissues of a developing tooth, including structures known as the enamel organ, dental lamina, and dental papilla. The generally recognized stages of tooth development are the bud stage, cap stage, bell stage, and crown, or calcification, stage. Enamel formation is first seen in the crown stage. Amelogenesis, or enamel formation, occurs after the first establishment of dentin, via cells known as ameloblasts. Human enamel forms at a rate of around 4 μm per day, beginning at the future location of cusps, around the third or
Eggshell the uterus. The egg can take up fluids and grow in size during this process, and the final, most rigid layer is not added until the egg is full-size. Hatching birds, amphibian and egg-laying reptiles have an egg-tooth used to start an exit hole in the hard eggshell. Eggshell waste is fundamentally composed of calcium carbonate, and has the potential to be used as raw material in the production of lime. Eggshell An eggshell is the outer covering of a hard-shelled egg and of some forms of eggs with soft outer coats. Insects and other arthropods lay a variety of
