Which suture connects the parietal and temporal bones?

The occipital, parietal and temporal bones are connected by the squamosal suture. This suture was not present when a person is a newborn baby.


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.


What suture is most likely to contain sutural bones?

The sagittal suture is most likely to contain sutural bones. Sutural bones are small bones found within the sutures of the skull, and the sagittal suture is the largest and most complex cranial suture which can exhibit these bones.


What are the four major sutures of the skull?

Squamous suture (separates the temporal bone from the parietal bone), Coronal suture (separates the frontal bone from the parietal bone), Sagittal suture (separates the parietal bones) and the Lamboid suture (separates the occipital bone from the parietal bone)


What joint is an immovable joint that holds bones of the axial skeleton tightly together to protect?

A suture joint is an immovable joint that holds bones of the axial skeleton tightly together to protect the brain and spinal cord. Sutures are fibrous connective tissue that allow for some slight movement during growth and development but mainly serve to protect and support the structures within the skull.

Is It Possible for a retained foreign body such as a surgical clip or suture material to migrate from within the peritoneal cavity up into the brain?

No, it's not possible for a suture or clip in the peritoneal cavity to migrate to the brain.


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.


Is the lambdoidal suture in the skull a immovable joint?

Yes, the lambdoidal suture is an immovable fibrous joint in the human skull. It connects the parietal bones to the occipital bone and provides stability and protection to the brain.


What type of joints are found in the brain?

joints in the brain are called 'synarthroses' the type is 'suture'


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.
