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.
How are teeth held in the jawbone?
gomphosis
What is the living tissue in teeth?
A living cell is the smallest structure of that carries out specific functions.
Is dentin the specialized connective tissue that forms the teeth?
Yes, dentin is a specialized connective tissue that makes up the majority of a tooth's structure. It lies beneath the enamel and surrounds the pulp of the tooth. Dentin is responsible for providing support and protection to the pulp.
What are the two major components of extracellular fluid?
Extracellular components include cellulose, teeth, bone cartilage, and connective tissue. To sum it up, extracellular components are material outside the cell membrane.
What is a periodontal ligament?
Periodontal ligament is the connective tissue that anchors the teeth to the jaw bone.
What types of joints are in sutures and gomphosis?

What is transseptal fiberotomy surgery?
The supraosseous connective tissue attachment is surgically severed around the involved teeth. Where there are adjacent teeth, the transseptal fiberotomy of a single tooth will involve a minimum of three teeth. Since the incisions are within the gingival sulcus and tissue and the root surface is not instrumented, this procedure heals by the reunion of connective tissue with the root surface on which viable periodontal tissue is present (reattachment).
Is teeth also another name for jawbone or mandible?
yes teeth is also a jawbone and another name for mandible
What periodontal ligament?
Periodontal ligaments are connective tissue which hold teeth in place by attaching them to the alveolar bone.
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.
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.
What type of tissue has large amounts of nonliving matrix?
The bones have the largest amount of minerals, calcium and phosphorus, in its extracellular matrix. Teeth, which are specialized bone, have additional enamel that makes them even stronger. That answer has nothing to do with the question asked....but the answer is connective tissue.
How are teeth held in the jawbone?
gomphosis
Do humans have true bony teeth?
No, humans do not have true bony teeth. Teeth are composed of hard tissues like enamel, dentin, and cementum, which are different from bone tissue. Teeth are attached to the jawbone through the periodontal ligament.
What is the living tissue in teeth?
A living cell is the smallest structure of that carries out specific functions.
Is dentin the specialized connective tissue that forms the teeth?
