Question: The hardest tissue of the human body is……………….....
The hardest tissue of the human body is………………..
Solution
Anatomically, the enamel in the human body is the toughest tissue. However, unlike other tissues, the enamel is non-living and does not produce nerves to conduct signals. Enamel is also transparent, which ensures the light can be seen through it.
Complete answer:
Tooth enamel is the hardiest and most highly mineralized material in the human body. It is a bone and not a tissue. The high mineral content of this tissue makes it the toughest material. Enamel is the outermost layer of the teeth and it contains the yellow dentine. The toughest bones of the human body are the femur and the temporal bone of the skull.
In humans and many other animals, including several species of fish, tooth enamel is one of the four main tissues that make up the tooth. The usually visible part of the tooth, covering the crown, is made up of it. Dentin, cementum, and dental pulp are the other main tissues. It is a highly mineralized, very hard, white to off-white material that acts as a barrier to protecting the tooth but can become susceptible to degradation, especially from food and beverage acids. Tooth enamel hardens with calcium. Enamel fails to develop in unusual cases, leaving the underlying dentin on the surface exposed.
Additional information:
In the human body, the toughest bone is the mandible, which is more generally referred to as the jawbone. The biggest and strongest bone in the human face is this bone as well. In the lower part of the face, the jawbone rests and keeps the bottom teeth in place. It links behind the ears with the skull.
In the human body, the femur is the strongest bone. It stretches from the knee to the shoulder. A force of up to 1,800 to 2,500 pounds will resist it.
So, the correct answer is ‘Enamel’.
Note:
The femur, or thigh bone, is the leg bone that is most proximal (closest to the hip joint). In the pelvic bone that forms the hip joint, the head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum, while the distal portion of the femur articulates with the tibia and the kneecap that forms the knee joint. The femur is by certain measurements, the strongest bone in the body. The femur is the longest bone in the body as well.
