Description: Individual enamel rods are formed by the activity of ameloblasts. Each rod starts at the DEJ and extends as a wavy, continuous column to the surface of the crown.

These rest lines, in combination with similar lines in neighbouring rods, form a structure visible in mounted cross-sections of enamel and are named the striae of Retzius. The striae are regions characterized by relatively higher organic content
