Pulp Cavity

What is Pulp Cavity?

The soft living centre of a tooth, enclosed by dentine, containing nerves and blood vessels. The blood vessels supply the living cells of the tooth with oxygen and nutrients, and the nerves make the tooth sensitive to pressure, temperature and damage.

This definition is part of the Human Nutrition chapter in Cambridge O Level Biology.
