Tomes's Process
Tomes's processes (also called Tomes processes) are a histology, histologic landmark identified on an ameloblast, cells involved in the production of tooth enamel. During the synthesis of enamel, the ameloblast moves away from the Tooth enamel, enamel, forming a projection surrounded by the developing 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. Tonofilaments separate the developing enamel from the enamel organ. Gap junctions synchronize cell activation. The body of the cell between the processes first deposits enamel, which will become the periphery of the enamel prisms, then the Tomes's process will infill the main body of the enamel prism. More than one ameloblast contributes to a single prism. Tomes's processes are distinctly different from Tomes's fibers, which are odontoblastic pr ...

Tomes's Rice Rat
''Nephelomys albigularis'', also known as the white-throated oryzomys or Tomes's rice rat, is a species of rodent in the genus ''Nephelomys'' of family Cricetidae. Described in 1860, it was the first ''Nephelomys'' species to be discovered. It was originally described in the defunct genus ''Hesperomys'' as ''Hesperomys albigularis'' and considered related to the much smaller ''H. longicaudatus'' (currently ''Oligoryzomys longicaudatus''). By 1894, it was placed in ''Oryzomys'', as ''Oryzomys albigularis'', and associated with what is now ''Nephelomys meridensis''. In the early 1960s, the scope of the species was considerably expanded to include most of the species that are now in ''Nephelomys'', as well as a single name, ''boliviae'', that is currently a synonym of ''Euryoryzomys nitidus''. From 1976 on, several of these were reinstated as separate species.Musser and Carleton, 2005, p. 1145 In 2006, a phylogenetic analysis by Marcelo Weksler of the oryzomyine tribe, in which both ...
