  2. Sagittal suture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittal_suture

    The suture begins to close at age twenty nine, starting at where it intersects at the lambdoid suture and working forward. By age thirty five, the suture is completely closed. This means that when inspecting a human skull, if the suture is still open, one can assume an age of less than twenty nine.

    Sphenozygomatic suture (blue circle), seen from behind. Side view of the skull. (Sphenozygomatic suture visible at center, between sphenoid bone , which is colored yellow in the diagram, and the zygomatic bone , which is colored in white.).

  5. Suture (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    Crocodilian form of crurotarsal ankle. The astragalus (pink) is fixed to the tibia (green) by a suture. Adapted with permission from Palaeos. In the type of crurotarsal ankle, which is found in crocodilians and some other archosaurs, the astragalus is fixed to the tibia by a suture, and the joint bends around a peg on the astragalus, which fits into a socket in the calcaneum.

  7. Coronal suture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_suture

    If certain bones of the skull grow too fast then premature fusion of the sutures, craniosynostosis, may occur. [1] This can result in skull deformities. [1] These deformities include: [3] Brachycephaly (both sides) Plagiocephaly (one side only) Oxycephaly (both sides)

  8. Anterior fontanelle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_fontanelle

    The anterior fontanelle (bregmatic fontanelle, frontal fontanelle) is the largest fontanelle, and is placed at the junction of the sagittal suture, coronal suture, and frontal suture; it is lozenge-shaped, and measures about 4 cm in its antero-posterior and 2.5 cm in its transverse diameter. The fontanelle allows the skull to deform during ...

  9. Frontonasal suture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontonasal_suture

    Frontonasal suture. The frontonasal suture (Latin: Sutura frontonasalis) is a cranial suture that is found in the human skull, connecting the frontal bone and the two nasal bones. [1] This suture meets the internasal suture at the nasion. It is crucial in the study of cranial development and forensic analysis.
