Understanding Teeth: Types and Functions in Biology
Explore the world of teeth in biology, including the four different types of teeth - incisors, canines, premolars, and molars - each with unique functions for cutting, tearing, crushing, and grinding food. Discover how different animals have varied sets of teeth depending on their diet, distinguishing herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores. Delve into the specific teeth of a sheep, lion, and humans, and ponder the differences in teeth structure across herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores.

Teeth 1stYear Biology
Teeth There are 4 different types of tooth -incisors -canines -premolars -molars These different teeth have different jobs!
Incisors These are cutting teeth used for cutting and biting off pieces of food
Canines These are long and sharp teeth that are used to hold and tear at food
Premolars These teeth are used to crush and grind soft food
Molars These teeth are used for chewing and grinding hard food
Teeth and Animals! Different animals have different sets of teeth depending on the type of food that they eat Revise the words: -herbivore -omnivore -carnivore
Think. Do you think a herbivore will a different set of teeth compared to a carnivore? Why? What types of teeth does an ominovore have?
