Mammalian Tooth Structure: Vertical Section Overview
Mammalian teeth consist of hard tissues (enamel, dentine, cementum) and soft tissue (tooth pulp). The enamel is the hardest, dentine surrounds the pulp cavity, and cementum covers the dentine and connects to the alveolar bone. Tooth pulp provides support, nourishment, and defense mechanisms. Support

Overview of Second Class Instinctive Place of Articulation in Phonetics
Place of articulation in phonetics refers to the location where speech sounds are obstructed. There are 8 types of place of articulation, including bilabial, labio-dental, dentals, alveolar, palato-alveolar, palatal, velar, and glottis. Each type is characterized by the specific articulatory positio
