    Types of Teeth

    • There are four main types of teeth in the human mouth, each with unique characteristics.
    • Incisors: used for biting and taking food into the mouth.
    • Canines: the sharpest teeth, used for ripping and tearing food apart, and are pointed in shape.
    • Premolars: used for chewing and grinding food, and have a single attachment to the jawbone.
    • Molars: also used for chewing and grinding food, and are typically larger with two or three attachments to the jawbone.

    Fingerprint Types

    • There are three main types of fingerprints based on their patterns.
    • Arches: slope upward and then downward, resembling narrow mountains.
    • Whorls: form a circular or spiral pattern.
    • Simple Loops: begin on one side of the finger, curve around, and exit from the same side.
    • Double Loops: begin on one side of the finger, curve upward, and exit on another side.
