What is difference between suture and sulcus?

Suture is a fibrous connective tissue joint between two or more structures (e.g. bones in the brain). For example, there is a sagittal suture between the two parietal bones of the skull. Sulcus is the fissure on the surface of the brain which surrounds the gyri. For example, there is a central sulcus which separates the frontal and parietal lobes of the cerebral cortex.

What is the suture joint and where is it found?

Examples of sutures as joints are found in the bone that make up the cranium which covers the brain. There are 22 bones that form the cranium. There are 11 sutures. The joint is slightly moveable and that gives some flexibility to the cranium. This type of joint is called a synarthrosis.


Which suture connects the occipital and parietal bones?

The suture that goes in between the two parietal bones (left and right) is called the saggital suture. That is the main suture that runs in the middle of the top of your head. The parietal bones articulate with the occipital bone at the lambdoidal suture and with the temporal bones (left and right where the ears are), at the squamosal suture. Finally the parietal bones both meet with the frontal bone at the coronal suture. But the main suture between the parietals again is the saggital suture.Lambdoidal suture connects the two parietal bones together.
