Tomes's process

Tomes's processes (also called Tomes processes) are a histologic landmark identified on an ameloblast, cells involved in the production of tooth enamel.

Tomes's processes are those projections and give the ameloblast a "picket-fence" appearance under a microscope.

They are located on the secretory, basal, end of the ameloblast.

Terminal bar apparatuses connect the Tomes's processes.

Gap junctions synchronize cell activation.
