what are teeth capped with
enamel
where are teeth thought to have originated from
the bony armour of primitive fish
teeth are unique to
vertebrates, invertebrates do not have teeth
enamel
hardest substance in the body
enamel laid down just once in a lifetime
dentin
resembles bone but is harder
forms wall of pulp cavity
dentin laid down slowly throughout the life of an individual
cementum
rests upon dentin
odontoblast bodies
lay down the component parts of dentin
PDL
periodental ligament is a thick bundle of collagenous fibers that connects the cementum
covered root to the bone of the socket
thecodont teeth
teeth in sockets
like in alligators and humans
acrodont teeth
attach on the occlusal surface of bones
snakes
pleurodont teeth
attach to the side
lizard
polyphyodont
continuous replacement of teeth
diphyodont
only 2 generations of teeth
mammals
mammals have 4 basic types of teeth
canines
incissors
molars(cheek teeth)
premolars
distinction between molars and premolars
molars only have 1 generation and never shed
homodont teeth
all about the same size and shape
heterodont teeth
different sizes and shapes
mammals
how do teeth develop
interactions between the epidermis(ectoderm) and underlying dermis(mesoderm)
Part of the epidermis invaginates into the dermis to form an enamel organ whose cells produce enamel
ameoblasts
cells that produce enamel
ruminants do not have
upper incissors
we see continuous replacement in herbivores
because they have to chew their food more finely
brachydont teeth
relatively close to the gum line. These are found in animals that eat meat
Hypsodont teeth
teeth rise up relatively far up from the gum line. We see these in animals that chew plant material
bunodont teeth
in primates
pedicillate teeth
synapomorphies of living amphibians
consist of a tooth crown and base both composed of dentine separated by a layer of uncalcified dentine
walrus tusks develop from
canines
narwhal tusks develop from
upper left incissors
sectorial(scissors like teeth)
teeth are seen in tarsiers, whereas porpoises have peg-like teeth. Teeth are absent in adult anteaters and baleen whales.
dermal papilla eventually becomes the
pulp
beavers
grow teeth continously
elephants
replace teeth continously
labryrinthodont teeth
In fossil crossopterygian fishes and in the earliest fossil tetrapods, the enamel and dentine was highly infolded into complicated patterns
Moray eel have
second set of teeth called pharyngeal teeth
Herbivores have a longer intestine because
the nature of plant material is not as nutritious from a protein type stand point, so since it needs to be large and thin
allantosis
connects embryonic yolk
embryonic digestive system forms from
ectodermal and endodermal tissues
palates are only in
tetrapods
compare large intestine to small intestine
large intestine, like the small intestine, contains intestinal glands (producing secretions to aid in digesting food), but the large intestines do not have villi
Fundus
area of stomach located above entrance of the stomach
lactiles absorb
long chain fatty acids
villi project
above the level of the mucousal wall
intestinal glands are
sunken in the mucosal wall
spiral valves
increase the length of the route through the digestive tract
Bolus
bite of food
when the spiral valve is absent, the intestine is
often lengthened, like in the perch
cecum
is a place that can house microbes to assist in digestion. So we expect to the cecum be longer and more complex in herbivorous animals
gizzard
present in reptiles and some birds. Highly muscularized portion of the digestive system that enables them to break cell walls and also to grind their food material. A gizzard contains little stones and so the food goes into the gizzard and the stones work like a grinding surface to grind the food, since birds do not have teeth to chew up the teeth.
gastroliths
stones of the gizzard
