The trilobite body is divided into three major sections: a cephalon (head section) with eyes, mouthparts and sensory organs such as antennae; a thorax of multiple segments which are similar to each other; and a pygidium, or tail section. In many species, the cephalon had sutures running from back to front round the outside edges of the eyes.
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. the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. In the adult, it lies 4 cm behind and 12 mm above the center of the entrance to ...

Patients are typically discharged from the hospital with sutures (stitches) at the incision site, and a small drain tube placed behind the ear. [7] The tube is connected to a plastic bulb, which collects blood, serum, and saliva from the wound. Sutures are typically removed between the fourth and sixth day post-surgery. [7]
