The coronal suture is the serrated interlocking joint found between the frontal bone and the pair of parietal bones of the skull. It is one of the prominent sutures of the skull, easily identifiable from both the lateral and superior views.
The coronal suture is a dense, fibrous connective tissue joint that separates the two parietal bones from the frontal bone of the skull.
The coronal suture is a dense and fibrous association of connection tissue located between the frontal and parietal bones of the skull. At birth, the sutures decrease in size (molding) and make the skull smaller. In children, the suture enables the skull to expand with the rapidly growing brain. The suture will close and fuse around age 24.
The coronal suture lies between the posterior border of the frontal bone and the anterior margins of the left and right parietal bones. It projects inferiorly to meet the junction of the greater wing on the sphenoid bone and the squamous part of the temporal bone.
The sutures of the skull, also referred to as the cranial sutures, are fibrous joints that connect the bones of the skull. They appear as intricate thin lines that mark the adherence between the bones and the growth and closure of the cranial fontanelles.
The coronal suture is the cranial suture formed between the two parietal bones and the frontal bone. At the junction of coronal, sagittal and frontal sutures, the anterior fontanelle is located which is open at birth and usually fuses at around 18-24 months after birth.
The coronal suture extends cephalad (toward the apex of the skull) and meets the sagittal suture. This point is called the "bregma" and indicates the position of the anterior fontanel. The coronal suture extends caudal (toward the base of the skull) to the pterion.
The main sutures of the skull are the coronal, sagittal, lambdoid and squamosal sutures. The metopic suture (or frontal suture) is variably present in adults. Coronal suture - unites the frontal bone with the parietal bones. Sagittal suture - unites the 2 parietal bones in the midline.
The coronal suture is a dense, fibrous connective tissue joint that separates the frontal and parietal bones of the skull. At birth, the bones of the skull do not meet.
The two suture lines seen on the top of the skull are the coronal and sagittal sutures. The coronal suture runs from side to side across the skull, within the coronal plane of section (see Figure 7.3.3). It joins the frontal bone to the right and left parietal bones.
