Vedclass · Answer

(B) The oral cavity consists of a number of teeth and a muscular tongue. Teeth are embedded in a socket of the jaw bone; this type of attachment is called $thecodont$. Most mammals have two sets of teeth during their life,which is known as $diphyodont$. Temporary or deciduous teeth ($20$ in number) are replaced by permanent teeth. An adult human has $32$ teeth,i.e.,$16$ in each jaw. These are of four different types $(heterodont)$,namely incisors $(I)$,canines $(C)$,premolars $(PM)$,and molars $(M)$. Therefore,the dentition in human beings is $diphyodont$,$heterodont$,and $thecodont$.
