What are the differences between a tooth and a bone in terms of structure and function?

The main differences between a tooth and a bone are in their structure and function. Structure: A tooth is made up of enamel, dentin, and pulp, while a bone is composed of collagen, calcium, and other minerals. Teeth are harder and more specialized for biting and chewing, while bones are more flexible and provide support and protection for the body. Function: Teeth are primarily used for biting and chewing food, while bones support the body, protect organs, and help with movement. Teeth are fixed in the jaw and do not regenerate, while bones can repair and regenerate themselves over time. In summary, teeth and bones have different structures and functions, with teeth being specialized for biting and chewing, and bones providing support and protection for the body.
