Study Notes

Dental Structure

  • Monophyodont: One set of teeth, e.g., platypus, toothed whale
  • Diphyodont: Two sets of teeth, milk (temporary) and permanent, e.g., mammals
  • Polyphodont: Teeth can be replaced many times, e.g., frog
  • Isodont (Homodont): All teeth similar, e.g., toothed whale
  • Heterodont: More than one type of teeth, e.g., four types in humans:
    • Incisors (cutting)
    • Canines (tearing)
    • Premolars (grinding)
    • Molars (grinding, not present in milk dentition)
  • Pleurodont: Teeth fixed by sides to lateral surface of jaw ridge, e.g., reptiles
  • Bunodont: Low cusps, e.g., humans
  • Lophodont: Transverse ridges, e.g., elephant
  • Solenodont: Crescent-shaped cusps, e.g., sheep
  • Secodont: Cusps pointed, e.g., carnivores

Alimentary Canal

  • Pharynx: It lies between the cal vary parts of nasal and oral cavities, connected to the eustachian tube and uvula
  • Oesophagus: It communicates through the diaphragm and opens into the stomach
  • Stomach: Part of the alimentary canal, located behind the diaphragm, has a cardiac part at the anterior end
