Bohn s nodules are smooth whitish bumps or cysts which are sometimes found in the mouths of newborns. They are found at the junction of the hard palate hard and soft palate , and along lingual and buccal parts of the dental ridges, away from the midline. These Nodule medicine nodule s are 1 3 mm in size, and filled with keratin . These nodules are epithelium epithelial remnants of salivary gland tissue. They are benign, and usually disappear within the first three months of life. Bohn s nodules are similar in appearance to Epstein s pearls , which develop on the roof of the mouth. Bohn s nodules are named after German pediatrician Heinrich Bohn 1832 1888 , author of Die Mundkrankheiten der Kinder Mouth Diseases of Children .

They are the result of ion exchange reactions that precipitate ore components from the water sedimentary or out of the interstitial water of the sediments layers diagenetic . The composition of Manganese bearing minerals is dependent on how the nodules are formed sedimentary nodules, which have a lower Mn sup 2 sup content than diagenetic, are dominated by Fe vernadite, Mn feroxyhyte , and asbolane buserite while diagenetic nodules are dominated by buserite I, birnessite , todorokite , and asbolane buserite.

Cutaneous innervation refers to the area of the skin which is supplied by a specific nerve , that is, by a cutaneous nerve . Dermatome Anatomy Dermatome s are similar however, a dermatome only specifies the area served by a spinal nerve . In some cases, the dermatome is less specific when a spinal nerve is the source for more than one cutaneous nerve , and in other cases it is more specific when a cutaneous nerve is derived from multiple spinal nerves. Modern texts are in agreement about which areas of the skin are served by which nerves, but there are minor variations in some of the details. The borders designated by the diagrams in the 1918 edition of Gray s Anatomy , provided below, are similar but not identical to those generally accepted today. Importance of the peripheral nervous system The peripheral nervous system PNS is divided into the somatic nervous system , the autonomic nervous system , and the enteric nervous system . However, it is the somatic nervous system, responsible for body movement and the reception of external stimuli, which allows to understand how cutaneous innervation is made possible by the action of specific sensory fibers located on the skin , as well as the distinct pathways they take to the central nervous system. The skin, which is part of the integumentary system , it plays an important role in the somatic nervous system because it contains a range ... system in cutaneous innervation.
