What is a synonym for 'tricuspid'?

Tricuspid valve (located between the Rigth Atrium and Right Ventricle in the heart) is also known as the Right Atrioventricular valve. The name "Tricuspid" indicates its structure, or form, as it has three flaps (or cusps), against the Bicuspid Valve (located between the Left Atrium and the Left Ventricle), which only has two. For more info see the related links.


What kind of teeth would you expect to find on an omnivore and why?

You would expect to find a mixture of different kinds of teeth. Omnivores need "slicing" teeth (incisors), "tearing" teeth (canines or bicuspids), and "grinding" teeth (molars). Having these allows them to eat a wider variety of food. Animals that specialize in just one type of food may omit one or more of these kinds of teeth, because they're not useful ... most herbivores have either small or no canines, for example (some herbivores have tusks, but they're modified incisors rather than modified canines).Teeth are directly related to diet . Teeth of carnivores are with conical and pointed cusps for tearing prey as in lion . Teeth of herbivores are with flat cusps to grinding vegetation and are called solenodonts and lophodonts as in deer , camel and elephant . teeth in omnivores are intermediate between these two extremes and are called bunodont . such teeth can be used for eating meet and grinding vegetation as in man

Molars touch cusp to cusp?

Molars have projections that come off of them called cusps. The projections that are closer to the cheek on a top molar should contact no tooth structure, while the inside cusps should go between the cusps of the bottom tooth to rest in this pocket. The bottom tooth's cusps are just the opposite: the inside cusp touches no tooth structure while the cusps closer to the cheek go in between the cusps of the top tooth. When molars touch cusp to cusp, this causes strain on the mouth, along with the TMJ. This can lead to more severe problems in the future.
