Side view of the skull Human skull side sutures right. A suture is a type of fibrous joint that is only found in the skull (cranial suture). The bones are bound together by Sharpey's fibres. A tiny amount of movement is permitted at sutures, which contributes to the compliance and elasticity of the skull. These joints are synarthroses. [1]

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.

Wormian bones, also known as intrasutural bones or sutural bones, [1] are extra bone pieces that can occur within a suture (joint) in the skull.These are irregular isolated bones that can appear in addition to the usual centres of ossification of the skull and, although unusual, are not rare. [2]
