Metopic, or frontal, suture - Separates the frontal bone into two halves.
Sagittal suture - Separates the two parietal bones.
Coronal suture - Separates the frontal bone from the parietal bone
Lambdoid suture - Separates the posterior edge of the of the parietal bone form the occipital bone.
Squamosal suture - Superior border of the squamous part of the temporal bone. It articulates with the greater wing of the sphenoid; superiorly, it articulates with the parietal bone and posteriorly and inferiorly it articulates with the occipital bone
The parietal bones touch all four major sutures (coronal, sagittal, squamous and lambdoid).

What is another name for skull sutures?
The cranial sutures are fibrous joints, also known as synarthroses.
What is the immovable joint found between skull bones?
The immovable joint found between skull bones is called a suture. Sutures are fibrous joints made of connective tissue that hold the skull bones together and provide strength and stability to the skull.
The joint between the skull bones?
The joint between the skull bones is known as a suture. Sutures are fibrous joints that are held together by dense connective tissue. They allow for minimal movement between the bones of the skull to protect the brain and maintain the structure of the head.
Are the spaces between skull bones that have not ossified called sutures?
Spaces between skull bones that have not ossified usually occur from birth to age two and are called fontanels. By age two, the fontanels close and become sutures.
Do cranial bones develop within fibrous membranes?
Yes, cranial bones develop within fibrous membranes known as the sutures. These sutures allow for the skull bones to grow and expand as the brain grows during development. The sutures eventually fuse together as the individual matures.
What are sustral bones?
Suture bones are found in the skull. They are called skull bones and are connected by sutures.
What fuses the bones of the skull?

What are skeletal sutures?
Skeletal sutures are immovable joints found between the bones of the skull. These sutures allow the skull to grow during infancy and childhood, but eventually fuse together in adulthood to form a single, solid structure. The main types of sutures in the skull are the sagittal suture, coronal suture, lambdoid suture, and squamous suture.
