Teeth may have one or more roots. The furcation angle is the point where roots diverge. The root ends in an apex which is where the nerves, blood vessels and lymphatics travel to the [[Pulp - Anatomy & Physiology|pulp]]. '''Hypsodont''' teeth can have open roots (aradicular) e.g. in rabbits which have continued growth. Hypsodont teeth can have closed roots (radicular) e.g. horse where growth decreases with age. '''Brachydont''' teeth have no capacity for growth and so the roots are closed.
