The load on an animal's jaw refers to the force exerted on the jaw muscles and skeletal structures during activities such as biting, chewing, and holding food. This load can vary significantly based on factors like the animal's size, diet, and jaw structure. Herbivores, for instance, may experience different jaw loads compared to carnivores due to the differing mechanical demands of processing plant material versus meat. Understanding jaw load is important for studying animal behavior, feeding mechanics, and evolutionary adaptations.

What class lever is your jaw?
The human jaw is a class 3 lever, where the effort is applied between the load and the fulcrum. The masseter muscles provide the effort, the teeth and temporomandibular joint act as the fulcrum, and the load is the resistance of the food being chewed.

Can anacondas dislodge their jaw?

How do animals teeth grow?
The teeth in animals grow by eruption - the tooth is fully formed in the jaw and over the animal's life it is slowly forced out of the jaw where it is visible above the gum line. This is why very old animals may be missing some or all of their teeth - the entire tooth has been used and has fallen out of the socket.
