[2] The mesencephalic nucleus is the only structure in the central nervous system to contain the cell bodies of first order sensory neurons. [2] The mesencephalic nucleus can thus be considered functionally as a primary sensory ganglion embedded within the brainstem, [1] making it neuroanatomically unique. [3]
The dentate forms the largest pathway between the cerebellum and the remainder of the brain. [1] It is the largest and most lateral of the four pairs of deep cerebellar nuclei , the others being the globose and emboliform nuclei, which together are referred to as the interposed nucleus , and the fastigial nucleus.
The names of these teeth are: (1) Incisors, there are eight incisors located in the front of the mouth (four on the top and four on the bottom). They have sharp, chisel-shaped crowns that cut food. (2) Cuspids (or canine tooth), the four cuspids are next to each incisor. Cuspids have a pointed edge to tear food.
The three major branches of the trigeminal nerve—the ophthalmic nerve (V 1), the maxillary nerve (V 2) and the mandibular nerve (V 3)—converge on the trigeminal ganglion (also called the semilunar ganglion or gasserian ganglion), located within Meckel's cave and containing the cell bodies of incoming sensory-nerve fibers.
The universal numbering system uses a unique letter or number for each tooth. The uppercase letters A through T are used for primary teeth and the numbers 1 - 32 are used for permanent teeth. The tooth designated "1" is the right maxillary third molar and the count continues along the upper teeth to the left side.
Gingival sulcus at neck of mammalian tooth Pollen grains of Cercis are sulcate, with reticulate surface. Rotating image of human brain, illustrating the lateral sulcus in the brain. In biological morphology and anatomy, a sulcus (pl.: sulci) is a furrow or fissure (Latin fissura, pl.: fissurae).
The upper teeth are denoted I 1, I 2, C −, Pm 3, Pm 4, M 1, M 2, and M 3. Left or right has to be specified. The lower teeth are I 1, I 2, C −, Pm 3, Pm 4, M 1, M 2, and M 3. The reason the premolars are labeled 3 and 4 is that in earlier primates there were two other premolars between them and the canines. [5]
The dental formula for primary teeth in humans is 2.1.0.2 2.1.0.2. In the primary set of teeth, in addition to the canines there are two types of incisors—centrals and laterals—and two types of molars—first and second. All primary teeth are normally later replaced with their permanent counterparts.
