उत्तर
Structure of tooth:
Tooth Anatomy
- A tooth consists of the portion that projects above the gum called crown and the root that is made up of two or three projections which are embedded in gum.
- A short neck connects the crown with the root.
- The crown is covered by the hardest substance of the body called enamel, which is made up of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate.
- Basic shape of tooth is derived from dentin which is a calcified connective tissue.
- The dentin encloses the pulp cavity. It is filled with connective tissue pulp. It contains blood vessels and nerves.
- Pulp cavity has extension in the root of the tooth called root canal.
- The dentin of the root of tooth is covered by cementum, which is a bone like substance that attaches the root to the surrounding socket in the gum.
- We have four different types of teeth hence, we are heterodont. Types of teeth are incisors (I), canines (C), premolars (PM) and molars (M). Each half of each jaw has two incisors, one canine, two premolars and three molars.
- Thus, the dental formula of adult human can be represented as.
`I2/2, C1/1, PM2/2, M3/3 = (2, 1, 2, 3)/(2, 1, 2, 3)`
i.e. 8 × 2 = 16 teeth in each jaw = 32 teeths

In which part of the digestive system is water absorbed?
Which part of the body secretes bile?
| The partially digested food coming from the stomach of a person enters a long and narrow organ A in his body. The organ A receives the secretion of two glands : liver and pancreas. Liver secretes a greenish-yellow liquid B which is normally stored in the organ C. Pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which contains three digestive enzymes D, E and F. The intestinal juice completes the process of digestion of food. The inner wall of organ A has millions of tiny finger-like projections G which help in the rapid absorption of digested food into blood stream. The undigested part of food then passes into wider tube H which absorbs most of the water from undigested food. The last part of tube H called I stores this undigested food (or waste) for some time. The undigested food is then passed out though opening J as faeces in the process known as K. |
