They are teeth growing all over the sharks body.
They are used to keep the shark's skin able to move
swiftly in the water. It also protects the shark.
They also help attack prey
Sharks are covered in scales called denticles, which are made of the same material as their teeth, giving them a rough texture. These denticles help reduce drag when swimming and protect the shark's skin.
There is no typical name for "shark Skin" however there is small denticles on some shark species that are tooth like that protect the sharks actual skin. its like the sharks "armor" if you will.
A Shark's skin is made up of small minuet rectangular scales that have very small bristles and pines on them. these are called "placiod scales" or as the scientists calls them " Dermal denticles" They also look like small tooth like shaped if you got them under a microscope. they are shaped with a curved edge but it has grooves in . this makes the shark's skin hard like armour.
Dermal denticles are tooth-like structures that cover a shark's skin. They help reduce friction and turbulence when swimming, allowing for faster and more efficient movement through water. Denticles also provide protection against parasites and injuries.
Sharks do not have scales like bony fish. Instead, they have rough, tooth-like scales called dermal denticles that provide protection and reduce drag in the water. These denticles also give sharks their rough texture.
The denticles are scale like and teethlike, and they help streamline the shark. VROOOM!
A scale like or skin like surface of a shark to protect and keep the body of a shark moving.

Shark skin is not soft and smooth as they it is covered in specialized scales. These scales are called placoid scales or dermal denticles.

actually, sharks have denticles. denticles are very different from fish scales because they are constructed like hard, sharp teeth to help prevent any injury to the shark's body.
Yes. Sharks have a kind of skin teeth called denticles. That`s why a shark feels like sandpaper.
