Is the inter maxillary suture the same as the medial palatine suture?
No, the intermaxillary suture is different from the medial palatine suture. The intermaxillary suture refers to the joint between the two maxillary bones in the midline of the skull.

What are the appropriate suture for each layers of the skin?
For suturing the skin, the appropriate sutures vary by layer: for the epidermis, a fine, absorbable suture like 4-0 or 5-0 Vicryl or Monocryl is often used to minimize scarring; for the dermis, a stronger absorbable or non-absorbable suture, such as 3-0 or 4-0 nylon or polypropylene, is recommended for better tension support; and for subcutaneous tissue, a thicker absorbable suture like 2-0 or 3-0 Vicryl may be employed to close deeper layers securely. The choice also depends on the specific wound characteristics and location.

What is a plain gut suture?
A plain gut suture is a type of surgical suture made from collagen derived from the submucosa of the small intestine of sheep or cattle. It is absorbable, meaning it will break down in the body over time, so it does not need to be removed after a certain period. Plain gut sutures are commonly used for soft tissue approximation in surgeries.

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 is the medical term meaning suture of a kidney?

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)
