(1 of 41) Developing Odontoblasts This image is from the region of a developing tooth where odontoblasts (A) are differentiating from the mesenchymal cells (B) of the pulp. Identify the following in this image: predentin (D), IDE (E), stratum intermedium (G) and stellate reticulum (H). The differentiation of odontoblasts is considered to result from the influence of the adjacent IDE cells. The odontoblasts on the lower half (C) are younger than those towards the top (A) and have not as yet secreted predentin (D). The cells of the IDE across from the active odontoblasts have transformed into preameloblasts (F).	Legend A - odontoblasts B - mesenchymal cells of pulp C - preodontoblasts D - predentin E - inner dental epithelium F - preameloblasts G - stratum intermedium H - stellate reticulum
