Epithelial cells line the inner surface of the enamel organ. '''Ameloblasts''' are derived from epithelium and form a single layer of very long columnar cells that are hexagonal in cross section. They have elongated, basally sited nuclei. They synthesise '''[[Organo de Esmalte#Esmalte|esmalte]]''' which forms the '''[[Organo de Esmalte#Corona|corona]]''' of each tooth. They maintain connections with the newly synthesised '''[[Organo de Esmalte#Esmalte|esmalte]]''' through cellular projections called '''Thomes' fibres'''. | Epithelial cells line the inner surface of the enamel organ.
