Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The pulp is a mass of connective tissue that resides within the center of the tooth, directly beneath the layer of dentin . Referred to as part of the “dentin-pulp” complex, and also known as the endodontium, these two tissues are closely interrelated and dependent on each other’s development and survival.

Detailed explanation-2: -Overview. Your tooth pulp is the innermost layer of your tooth. It contains nerves, blood vessels and specialized cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -PULP NERVES The neural component of the pulp tissue consists of sensory trigeminal afferent axons [4, 5]. Sympathetic efferent fibers regulate the blood flow; no consensus exists concerning the role of the parasympathetic fibers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tooth pulp is soft and consists of living blood vessels, connective tissue, and large nerves. Also commonly referred to as the nerve, the pulp branches out and continues down each root through the canals of the tooth and stops just shy of the apex, or tip, of the tooth.
