The nuclei become somewhat larger, andmove apart from one another as the cell-bodies grow larger (Fig. 3,S.P.). Between these cells a clear protoplasmic fluid is secreted,causing the appearance of small intercellular spaces. These spacesincrease, and press apart the neighboring cells to such an extent thatthe cells are finally connected with one another only by means of narrowprotoplasmic bridges (Fig. 4, S.P.). Thus these transformed epithe-lial ceils appear star-like, and between them we find a wide-meshedcanal system, containing a thin fluid protoplasm, apparently highly Fig. 3.

The enamel-pulphas reached the height of its development at the time when the firstdeposition of dentine and enamel takes place (Fig. 5). It degen-erates when the deposition of the enamel increases, and reaches, inthe direction of the root, only down to the future neck of the tooth,—i.e., to the place where the deposition of the enamel ends.
