Squamosal suture - Superior border of the squamous part of the temporal bone.

What type bones are parietal and scapulae?

The parietal bones are classified as flat bones, which are typically thin and provide protection to underlying structures, such as the brain. The scapulae, or shoulder blades, are classified as flat bones as well, serving to connect the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle and providing attachment points for muscles. Both types of bones play crucial roles in structural support and protection in the body.
