TET4 are linear (4 nodes per element)
TET10 are quadratic (10 nodes per element)

when you "list" an element you can see the number of nodes.

To figure out a specific element @rb1957 is correct.

An additional way to get a quick understanding is too look in the Model Info Tree under Element Type / Shape. It will label the Linear/Parabolic or 4-noded/10-noded.
