What is dentine?
Dentine is a mineralized tissue that makes up the majority of a tooth's structure. It lies beneath the enamel covering of the tooth and is softer than enamel but harder than bone. Dentine plays a crucial role in supporting and protecting the inner pulp of the tooth.
What layer of the tooth is harder than bone?
Teeth are hard because of a crystal molecule they contain called hydroxyapatite. This molecule is part of teeth and bones and is what makes them resistant to bending or compressing. But teeth are harder than bones because the outer layer of enamel contains more hydroxyapatite than anything else in the body
Which is the hardest bone in your body?
Your thigh bone, which is stronger than concrete.Answer:The hardest bone in the body is the temporal bone, more specifically the petrous part of it. It is stronger and harder than any other bone in the body.
Does Cartilage harder than bone?
No. It does not have the amount of calcium as bone.
Which is the hardest substance present in the human body?
Hardest compont of the human body is the Enamel of the tooth (above gum line - gingivi) with approximately 95% calcium concentration The Dentin of the tooth (within enamel) has approximately 80% concentration of calcium
What is the harder bone in your body?
The hardest bone in your body is your thigh bone. Its stronger than concrete!
Why does bone heal more easily than cartilage?
Because bone is much harder than cartilage
Name the hardest substance in the human body?
The hardest substance in the human body is tooth enamel. It is even harder than bone and serves as the outer protective layer of our teeth.
Is The Calcaneus The Hardest Bone In The Body?
No, the hardest bone in the body is the femur (thigh bone) which is harder than concrete. :)
Is bone the hardest structure in the body?
he femur is the thigh bone in the human body. In humans, it is the longest, hardest and strongest bone. The femur is said to be harder than concrete. The average human femur in adults is 48 centimeters (19 in) in length and 2.34 cm (0.92 in) in diameter and managed to support and withstand up to 30 times the weight of an adult. It forms part of the hip (at the acetabulum) and part of the knee. The word femur is Latin for thigh. It is impressive that evolution could make the femur bone almost harder than concrete. It has probably taken millions of years of evolution for the femur to evolve into the super strong bone that is today. The femur is a critical building block that the rest of our relatively soft body relies on.
Dentin is a soft substance than the enamel on a tooth and is found under the enamel?
Dentin is a hard tissue that lies beneath the enamel in a tooth, providing support and protection to the inner structures. It is not as hard as enamel but harder than pulp, the innermost part of the tooth.
Is the forehead the strongest part of the skull?
I vote for tooth! Teeth are made of a special kind of bone called enamel, so as far as hardness, they are harder than all the other bones. As far as strength in supporting weight, the talus bone in the ankle is the most load bearing bone in the body. As far as overall strength, the femur, the biggest bone can be considered the strongest one in our bodies. The frontal bone that is in our foreheads does not have anywhere near the strength of the ones I've mentioned.
