What is the name of a connective tissue that binds the root of the teeth to the gum and jawbone?
The name of the connective tissue that binds the root of the teeth to the gum and jawbone is called the periodontal ligament. It plays a crucial role in supporting the teeth and anchoring them in place within the jaw. Periodontal ligament also enables slight movements of the teeth during activities like chewing.
What types of joints are in sutures and gomphosis?
Sutures have fibrous joints where adjacent bones are united by a thin layer of dense connective tissue. Gomphosis is a type of fibrous joint specific to the attachment of teeth to the jawbone, where the tooth is held in a socket by periodontal ligaments.
Is the maxilla the lower jawbone?
No. It is the upper jawbone. The lower jawbone is the mandible.
What makes up the periodontium?
The periodontium is made up of the gingiva (gums), periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. Together, these components support and anchor the teeth in the jawbone.

Is teeth also another name for jawbone or mandible?
yes teeth is also a jawbone and another name for mandible
WHAT IS THE TEETH HELD IN THE JAW BONE?
Teeth are held in the jawbone by a structure called the periodontal ligament, which connects the tooth roots to the surrounding alveolar bone. This ligament provides support and stability while allowing for slight movement during chewing. The teeth are anchored in their sockets, known as dental alveoli, which are formed by the jawbone. Overall, this complex arrangement ensures that teeth remain securely in place while functioning effectively.
Are teeth connected to the skull in any way?
Yes, teeth are connected to the skull through the jawbone, which is part of the skull. The roots of the teeth are embedded in the jawbone, providing support and stability for the teeth.
The upper teeth are held by what bones?
The manbidle, or jaw bone, holds the inferior teeth and the maxilla, the bone behind the top lip, holds the superior teeth.
Why does a camel have only ONE row of teeth?

What are sharks teeth attached to?
Sharks' teeth are attached to their gums, similar to how human teeth are attached. Sharks continuously shed and replace their teeth throughout their lifetime.
Do humans have maxillary teeth?

What is the other name for jawbone?
The other name for jawbone is mandible. It is a key bone in the human skull that forms the lower jaw and houses the lower set of teeth.
How do gums help your teeth?
Gums help to support the teeth and keep them aligned, while providing resilient cushioning. More importantly, gum tissue protects the dental roots and underlying jawbones against infections and inflammations.
