In human anatomy, the asterion is a visible (craniometric) point on the exposed skull. It is just posterior to the ear. It is the point where three cranial sutures meet: the lambdoid suture. [1] parietomastoid suture. [1] occipitomastoid suture. [1] It is also the point where three cranial bones meet: the parietal bone. the occipital bone.
Base of the skull. Upper surface. (Frontoethmoidal suture is not labeled, ... The frontoethmoidal suture is the suture between the ethmoid bone and the frontal bone.
If the suture is not present at birth because both frontal bones have fused (craniosynostosis), it will cause a keel-shaped deformity of the skull called trigonocephaly. Its presence in a fetal skull, along with other cranial sutures and fontanelles , provides a malleability to the skull that can facilitate movement of the head through the ...
In humans, the vertex is formed by four bones of the skull: the frontal bone, the two parietal bones, and the occipital bone. These bones are connected by the coronal suture between the frontal and parietal bones, the sagittal suture between the two parietal bones, and the lambdoid suture between the parietal and occipital bones.
The head rests on the top part of the vertebral column, with the skull joining at C1 (the first cervical vertebra known as the atlas). The skeletal section of the head and neck forms the top part of the axial skeleton and is made up of the skull, hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, and cervical spine. The skull can be further subdivided into:

The sagittal suture is formed from the fibrous connective tissue joint between the two parietal bones of the skull. [1] It has a varied and irregular shape which arises during development. [1] The pattern is different between the inside and the outside. [1] Two anatomical landmarks are found on the sagittal suture: the bregma, and the vertex of ...
