 The dentinal tubes in the dentine (A) are furnished with numerous short 

 branches at the line of juncture with the enamel ; they are dilated, and a 

 little bent out of their course, while beyond the dilatation they pass on 

 through about two-thirds of the thickness of the enamel in a straight 

 course and without branches. Only a part of the whole thickness of the 

 enamel is shown in the figure. B. Enamel penetrated by the tubes.
