Q

What is the function of each of the cells below:
1) Ameloblasts
2) Odontoblasts
3) Cementoblasts

A

1) Ameloblasts secrete enamel matrix
2) Odontoblasts produce dentine
3) Cementoblasts secrete cementum

28
Q

How is a tooth formed?

A

1) Thickenings of oral epithelium form dental lamina
2) Underlying mesenchyme condenses
3) Dental lamina invaginates to form the dental bud
4) Dental bud expands and forms an enamel organ to surround the dental papilla
5) Cells in the tooth (prev slide) differentiate.

29
Q

A lingual extension of successional lamina that develops superficial and medial to the deciduous bud helps to form what?

A

The bud for the permanent tooth that will succeed the deciduous tooth.

30
Q

When is the deciduous dentition complete in dogs and cats

A

When they are 2 months old

31
Q

By what age are all of the adult teeth present in dogs and cats?

A

6 months

32
Q

What teeth erupt first in dogs?

A

Canines

33
Q

When is the equine deciduous dentition complete?

A

By 6 months

34
Q

What teeth can be useful for aging a horse?

A

Incisors - Galvayne’s Groove

35
Q

What is the infundibulum?

A

The infolding of the enamel

36
Q

Where is the cup found?

A

In the centre of the infundibulum

37
Q

What is the enamel space?

A

In the deepest part of the infundibulum

38
Q

When does the dental star become visible?

A

When tooth is 8 years old

39
Q

What is different about rodent dentition?

A
  • No canines
  • No pulp cavity in teeth
  • Very large diastema = interdental space
40
Q

What is special about the canines in pigs?

A

They continuously erupt to form tusks

41
Q

What is unique about cattle dentition?

A

They have no upper canines or molars - hard fibrous dental pad

42
Q

What are the 3 different types of teeth present in reptiles?

A
  • Acrodont
  • Pleurodont
  • Thecodont
43
Q

What is mastication?

A

The process of chewing and breaking down food prior to swallowing.

44
Q

How does mastication vary between carnivores and herbivores?

A
  • Carnivores use their carnassial teeth and canines for cutting and tearing of food
  • Herbivores chew with a horizontal movement and have cutting ridges in their teeth for grinding grass.
45
Q

Which part of the lower jaw articulates with the temporomandibular joint?

A

The condylar and coronoid processes of the mandible.

46
Q

Where does the masseteric muscle sit in relation to the mandible bone?

A

In the massenteric fossa.

47
Q

What type of joint is the mandibular symphysis and where is it found?

A

A fibrous joint, found between the left and right halves of the mandible.

48
Q

What is the function of the mandibular symphysis?

A
  • It allows fine compensatory adjustment to ensure precise occlusion.
  • Allows independent rotation of the mandibular bones.
49
Q

The diagastricus muscle is used to help open the jaw, where are the origin and insertion points?

A

Origin = Paracondylar process of the occipital bone
Insertion = At the angle of the mandible

50
Q

The masseter muscle is used to help close the jaw, where are its origin and insertion points?

A

Origin = Zygomatic arch
Insertion = Caudal mandible

51
Q

Where are the origin and insertion points of the temporal muscle?

A

Origin = Lateral surface of the cranium
Insertion = Coronoid process.

52
Q

Where are the origin and insertion points of the lateral and medial pterygoid muscles.

A

Lateral
Origin - Pterygopalatine part of the skull
Insertion - Lateral mandible

Medial
Origin - Pterygopalatine part of the skull
Insertion - Medial mandible

53
Q

What muscles are enlarged in herbivores?

A

The masseter and pterygoid muscles, this allows for extensive chewing and lateral movement of the jaw.

54
Q

What muscle is enlarged in carnivores?

A

Temporalis muscle, helps to snap the jaw shut.

55
Q

What are the 3 compartments of the nose?

A

1) External nose
2) Nasal cavities
3) Paranasal sinuses

56
Q

What is the correct scientific name for nostrils?

A

Nares

57
Q

What structure separates the two nasal cavities?

A

The nasal septum

58
Q

What unique structure do horses have in their nostrils?

A

Nasal diverticulum.

59
Q

What bone is found at the caudal boundary of the nasal cavity?

A

Ethmoid bone

60
Q

What type of bones are found within the nasal cavity?

A

Turbinate bones

61
Q

What is the name of the mucosa that covers the turbinate bones?

A

Conchae

62
Q

What are paranasal sinuses?

A

Air spaces surrounding certain bones bordering the nasal cavity.

63
Q

Complete the sentence = where you can’t find conchae, you will find…

A

Meatus

64
Q

What is the function of conchae?

A

Conchae increase respiratory area and create turbulence (this filters/ warms/ cools incoming air)

65
Q

What are the 3 nasal meatuses?

A

Dorsal, middle, ventral

66
Q

How many paranasal sinuses does a dog have? What are they?

A

2; frontal sinus and maxillary sinus.

67
Q

Which species have the most complex paranasal sinuses?

A

Cattle
