Molar (tooth) and a neck. The occlusal surface is rough and mostly flat, adapted for crushing and grinding plant material. The body is covered with cementum both above and below the gingival line, below which is a layer of enamel covering the entire length of the body. The cementum and the enamel invaginate into the thick layer of dentin. The opposite condition to hypsodont is called brachydont or brachyodont (from "brachys", "short"). It is a type of dentition characterized by low-crowned teeth. Human teeth are brachydont. A brachydont tooth has a crown above the gingival line and a neck just below it,
Eggshell the uterus. The egg can take up fluids and grow in size during this process, and the final, most rigid layer is not added until the egg is full-size. Hatching birds, amphibian and egg-laying reptiles have an egg-tooth used to start an exit hole in the hard eggshell. Eggshell waste is fundamentally composed of calcium carbonate, and has the potential to be used as raw material in the production of lime. Eggshell An eggshell is the outer covering of a hard-shelled egg and of some forms of eggs with soft outer coats. Insects and other arthropods lay a variety of
