Digestive system 2. (dentition and pharynx) Flashcards
define heterodonty
various types of teeth in the same individual
define diphyodont
is any animal with two successive sets of teeth, initially the deciduous set and consecutively the permanent set.
define monophydont and give type of animal
one set of teeth, rodents
define polyphydont and example
many sets of teeth (sharks)
Define diastema
is a gap between teeth
Define hypsodont
is a pattern of dentition with high-crowned teeth and enamel extending past the gum line, providing extra material for wear and tear.
e.g. cow cheek teeth and horse dentition
Define brachydont
(„short teeth“) or low-crowned teeth: cease to grow after eruption is completed;
in man, Car, su and Ru incisors
Two unique morphological structures of the cheek teeth of eq and Ru
infundibulum dentis in the cheek teeth
and sharp enamel crests = crista enameli
incisors, latin
dentes incisivi: sg. dens incisivus
canines in latin
dentes canini: sg. dens caninus
premolars and molars in latin
dentes premolares et molares:
sg. dens premolaris and dens molaris
translate and define wolf tooth
dens lupinus: small rudimentary inconstant tooth (P1) in eq
translate and define carnassial or sectorial tooth
dens sectorius:
largest shearing teeth, 4th upper premolar and 1st lower molar in Car
give an example of tricuspid teeth
canine upper incisors (tricuspid = 3 points)
translate vestibular surface: and can be divided into what two divisions
facies vestibularis: labial surface and buccal surface
surface directed towards the tongue
lingual surface (facies lingualis)
translate contact surface: and what two further divisions
facies contactus:
toward next rostral tooth is facies mesialis
and adjacent to the next caudal tooth is facies distalis
masticatory or occlusal surface
facies occlusalis
