Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of human molars that come in during the late teens or early twenties. in some cases, these teeth come in without problems, but they often have to be removed due to misalignment in the jaw, as shown below. removal of the teeth does not cause any long-term complications in regard to eating. mc012-1.jpg which type of anatomic structure are wisdom teeth? vestigial homologous analogous heterologous

Wisdom teeth are an example of vestigial structures. Vestigial structures are structures that may be inherited to enhance fitness; however, if they are not present in an organism, then there is no real harm to the organism.. The wisdom teeth, if inherited, help a person eat and mechanically digest the food; however, if a person's wisdom teeth are missing, they do not encounter many problems in chewing.
