Armadillo

Armadillos are New World placental mammals in the order Cingulata with a leathery armour shell.

Canine tooth

In mammalian oral anatomy, the canine teeth, also called cuspids, dog teeth, fangs, or (in the case of those of the upper jaw) eye teeth, are relatively long, pointed teeth.

Carnassial

Carnassials are paired upper and lower teeth (either molars or premolars and molars) modified in such a way as to allow enlarged and often self-sharpening edges to pass by each other in a shearing manner.

Cat

The domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus or Felis catus) is a small, typically furry, carnivorous mammal.

Cattle

Cattle—colloquially cows—are the most common type of large domesticated ungulates.

Deciduous teeth

Deciduous teeth, commonly known as baby teeth and temporary teeth,Illustrated Dental Embryology, Histology, and Anatomy, Bath-Balogh and Fehrenbach, Elsevier, 2011, page 255 are the first set of teeth in the growth development of humans and other diphyodont mammals.

Elephant

Elephants are large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea.

New!!: Incisor and Elephant · See more »

Human

Humans (taxonomically Homo sapiens) are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina.

New!!: Incisor and Human · See more »

Human tooth development

Tooth development or odontogenesis is the complex process by which teeth form from embryonic cells, grow, and erupt into the mouth.

New!!: Incisor and Human tooth development · See more »

Lagomorpha

The lagomorphs are the members of the taxonomic order Lagomorpha, of which there are two living families: the Leporidae (hares and rabbits) and the Ochotonidae (pikas).

Mammal

Mammals are the vertebrates within the class Mammalia (from Latin mamma "breast"), a clade of endothermic amniotes distinguished from reptiles (including birds) by the possession of a neocortex (a region of the brain), hair, three middle ear bones, and mammary glands.

New!!: Incisor and Mammal · See more »

Mandible

The mandible, lower jaw or jawbone is the largest, strongest and lowest bone in the human face.

New!!: Incisor and Mandible · See more »

Mandibular central incisor

The mandibular central incisor is the tooth located on the jaw, adjacent to the midline of the face.

New!!: Incisor and Mandibular central incisor · See more »

Mandibular lateral incisor

The mandibular lateral incisor is the tooth located distally (away from the midline of the face) from both mandibular central incisors of the mouth and mesially (toward the midline of the face) from both mandibular canines.

New!!: Incisor and Mandibular lateral incisor · See more »

Maxillary central incisor

The maxillary central incisor is a human tooth in the front upper jaw, or maxilla, and is usually the most visible of all teeth in the mouth.

New!!: Incisor and Maxillary central incisor · See more »

Maxillary lateral incisor

The maxillary lateral incisors are a pair of upper (maxillary) teeth that are located laterally (away from the midline of the face) from both maxillary central incisors of the mouth and medially (toward the midline of the face) from both maxillary canines.

New!!: Incisor and Maxillary lateral incisor · See more »

Molar (tooth)

The molars or molar teeth are large, flat teeth at the back of the mouth.

New!!: Incisor and Molar (tooth) · See more »

Narwhal

The narwhal (Monodon monoceros), or narwhale, is a medium-sized toothed whale that possesses a large "tusk" from a protruding canine tooth.

New!!: Incisor and Narwhal · See more »

Opossum

The opossum is a marsupial of the order Didelphimorphia endemic to the Americas.

New!!: Incisor and Opossum · See more »

Permanent teeth

Permanent teeth or adult teeth are the second set of teeth formed in diphyodont mammals.

New!!: Incisor and Permanent teeth · See more »

Premaxilla

The premaxilla (or praemaxilla) is one of a pair of small cranial bones at the very tip of the upper jaw of many animals, usually, but not always, bearing teeth.

New!!: Incisor and Premaxilla · See more »

Premolar

The premolar teeth, or bicuspids, are transitional teeth located between the canine and molar teeth.

New!!: Incisor and Premolar · See more »

Rodent

Rodents (from Latin rodere, "to gnaw") are mammals of the order Rodentia, which are characterized by a single pair of continuously growing incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws.

New!!: Incisor and Rodent · See more »

Shovel-shaped incisors

Shovel-shaped incisors (or, more simply, shovel incisors) are incisors whose lingual surfaces are scooped as a consequence of lingual marginal ridges, crown curvature or basal tubercles, either alone or in combination.

New!!: Incisor and Shovel-shaped incisors · See more »

Tooth

A tooth (plural teeth) is a hard, calcified structure found in the jaws (or mouths) of many vertebrates and used to break down food.

New!!: Incisor and Tooth · See more »

Tooth eruption

Tooth eruption is a process in tooth development in which the teeth enter the mouth and become visible.

New!!: Incisor and Tooth eruption · See more »

Tusk

Tusks are elongated, continuously growing front teeth, usually but not always in pairs, that protrude well beyond the mouth of certain mammal species.

New!!: Incisor and Tusk · See more »
