What is an alveolar bone?
The alveolar bone is a part of the jawbone that surrounds and supports the teeth. It is a specialized type of bone that forms the sockets in which the teeth are anchored. The health of the alveolar bone is essential for the stability and proper function of the teeth.

What are the extensions of the bone of the body of the mandible and maxilla that contains the tooth sockets of the teeth?
These extensions are known as alveolar processes, and they support and anchor the teeth within the mouth. The alveolar processes of the mandible and maxilla are the bony ridges that contain the tooth sockets (alveoli). The shape and size of these processes vary depending on the number and type of teeth present in the mouth.
What bone contains sockets of upper teeth?

Are the joints in the tooth sockets freely movable?
Although there are many joints in the skull, most are fused or immovable. The only bone that is free moving is the mandible, the lower jaw. The joints that connect the tooth to the socket are gomphosis joints, which allow little to no movement.
