  1. Upper incisors

  2. Lower incisors

  3. Lower canines

  4. Upper canines

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Canines in the upper arch are also often called “eye teeth,” which, when you come to think of it, is kind of a weird name for them. But the most common explanation is actually pretty simple: these teeth lie directly below the eye sockets.


So, the correct option is 'Upper canines'.

evs structure and functions of living organisms -ii experiments on digestive enzymes role of receptors in the mouth types of teeth introduction to human digestive system circulatory system and organs

  1. molars

  2. premolars

  3. incisors

  4. canines

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  • The molars or molar teeth are large, flat teeth at the back of the mouth. They are more developed in mammals. 
  • They are used primarily to grind food during chewing.
  • Molars show a great deal of diversity in size and shape across mammal groups. Hence, in mammals, mastication of the food is done by molars.
So, the correct answer is 'molars'.

  1. first molar tooth

  2. second molar tooth

  3. third molar tooth

  4. fourth molar tooth

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A wisdom tooth or third molar is one of the three molars per quadrant of the human dentition. It is the most posterior of the three. Wisdom teeth generally erupt between the ages of 17 and 25

So, the correct answer is 'third molar tooth'

Teeth are the only part of the digestive system that physically breaks down food.

evs structure and functions of living organisms -ii experiments on digestive enzymes role of receptors in the mouth types of teeth introduction to human digestive system circulatory system and organs

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • The digestive glands (salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder) produce or store secretions that the body carries to the digestive tract in ducts and breaks down chemically. 
  • The teeth help in mechanical digestion by masticating (chewing) food.
  •  The whole process starts in the oral cavity, where the saliva from the salivary glands mixes with the food and starts to begin the breakdown of food. This semi-digested food then travels down to the small intestine, where secretions from the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas further act on the food particles. Hence, Teeth are not only part of the digestive system that physically breaks down food.
So, the correct answer is 'False'.
