Q

what does the masticatory apparatus include?

A

teeth- non GI function
jaw & jaw joints -support teeth and APPLY muscle force to teeth
muscles of mastication/jaw muscles- PROVIDE the force used for oral processing of food

Q

whats the difference between anatomical crown and clinical crown?

A

Clinical crown-part that sticks out, can be seen- visible above the gums

anatomical- the crown is covered by enamel

17
Q

what is ESSENTIAL for tooth eruption

A

dental follicle

18
Q

enamel continue to grow throughout life, no root, has a wide pulp cavity

adult teeth do not have roots but the deciduous ones do

A

what is hypselodont?

19
Q

what type of tooth attachment do mammals have?

A

gomphodont, alveoli fit tooth tightly

20
Q

what are the two types of alveolar septum?

A

inter-alveolar septum
and
inter radicular septum

21
Q

interalveolar septum

A

between teeth

22
Q

septums between roots

A

inter radicular septum

23
Q

Tooth shape varies along the jaw

A

what is heterodont dentition?

24
Q

teeth are similar along the jaw?

such as dolphins!

A

what is homodont dentition?

25
Q

no teeth present- such as in birds

A

what is adontia?

26
Q

this is where there are missing teeth due to pathology

A

edentulous

27
Q

teeth are replaced multiple times throughout life, such as in sharks or crocodiles

A

what is polyphyodont

28
Q

teeth are replaced once throughout the life

such as in mammals

A

diphyodont

29
Q

what is the mandibular symphysis?

A

joint between the two mandible-this is a true symphysis

30
Q

what are the adductor jaw muscles

A

masseter - rostral and lateral
pterygoid- rostral and medial
temporalis -dorsal and caudal

31
Q

what the jaw abductor muscle?

A

digastricus - CN V and CN VII

32
Q

What muscles do carnivores and omnivores use primarily

A

temporalis

33
Q

What muscles do herbivores and rodents use primarily

A

masseter

34
Q

crown height < or = to root

A

low crown- brachyodont

35
Q

]

abbrasive food

crown&raquo_space; root

most of the crown is within the alveolus

A

high crown - hypsodont
